Not at all silly, it just depends really. I just posted something and only have two comments and 24 readers. I guess it's just luck if someone reads it.
X] people read my stuff but hardly ever comment. I'll have any where from 50-100 readers and only like 2 comments. It used too only be like 12 readers =O but my writing has gotten better and that has given me more readers. I just want some comments once in a while :(
For some odd reason, everytime I decide to go read a poem and comment it, I'll later check on who wrote it, and it's usually a boy. I don't know why that happens. Ha.
