Good to see you writing again BD. It's true that often you wonder if anyone is reading your journal, but I think generally people tend (I do anyway) to click on anything that's bolded, which shows there are new entries. This is probably due to the fact that few journals are updated that regularly (I'd say mine and Unknown Soldier's would be the two you could rely on to be) and so anything new is checked out.
Everyone understands people can be far too busy with their real lives to worry about their journals. Even I, with my essentially work-free day can still feel occasionally pressured and too busy to bother updating today, though I always get back to it. The most important thing, as I've said in my "Guide to starting your own journal" and elsewhere too, is that you do it because you enjoy it, not because you feel you have to. I learned that lesson, after having tried to update every single day with two or three entries, and realised at one point it was more like something I had to do rather than something I wanted to do.
No-one is forcing you to write, no-one tells you this has to be in by that date: there are no deadlines, and you decide yourself when to update, and when not to. There are plenty of journals here that haven't been opened in months or longer. At some point, I hope they will, but real life does have a habit of intruding and this is, after all, just a pastime for us all. It's not anything important or urgent. So update when you can, it's always welcome and as I say, nice to see your journal title in bold after so long...
(Also, I'll be interested in that Serbian music, for an upcoming journal section next year...)
