Clarification regarding comments


It has come to my attention that some of my readers have commented on some of my posts and wondered about the status of their comments, so I thought I would quickly clarify the purpose and settings of the comment function on this blog.

In order to clarify the "comment" settings that I have for this blog, I feel as if I should first review the goal/purpose of this endeavor. As the title suggests, the blog is to give my friends, family, supporters and acquaintances across the Internet an opportunity to view the world through Rick's Window. I do this by writing short essays about my experiences living with ALS and some of the activities that I still am able to enjoy from my perspective. I use the blog to share some of my creative writing projects— draft chapters from stories that I am working on, or short "free writing" episodes when I just let my imagination run wild. The blog is also my primary source for marketing my self-published novels, short stories and novellas.
Thus, this blog is not really meant to be a place for sharing opinions, comments or discussion. It's a place where you can go to read about the view from my window on the world... I hope that my writing is informative and perhaps sometimes inspirational— that is my goal.
So, the comment feature is turned off. You may enter a comment, but it does not post publicly. If you are a subscriber to the blog, the comment is sent to my e-mail address inbox, where I will respond to you personally. If you are not a subscriber and you comment, it just goes to an archive folder on the website which I never really look at.
I hope this clarifies how the comments are handled on this blog. If you would like to give me feedback or comments, contact me directly – rraker@hawaii.rr.com.
