I’ve only been blogging since June, but I’ve been journaling for 33 years; and while journaling provides a rather suitable “outboard brain” it takes far longer to sift through it. But it’s the comments that make blogging so much more fun. Without question, I blog for myself, it is my way of thinking things through. How could I have anticipated how much I would appreciate those comments! They push my thinking further, and I admit, it is nice to be noticed too!

I enjoyed that. It is the longest blog I have read in ages. I have read way too many blogs about blogging and best this-and-thats and I have only been on the internet for a few minutes. Refreshingly plain.

Thanks for the kick in the pants! I have maintained my blog for about two years now, but I can’t say I have been terribly consistent at producing content. Part of that reason is that I fell into the trap of writing for writers: BO-RING. At this point, as you pointed out, we don’t need another parrot squawking what every other blogger is talking about.

I particularly liked your point about blogging about what you’re passionate about. For a while, I have limited myself to “safe” topics about writing, but now… I think I’m just going to say what I need to say about whatever I’m thinking about. I think a LOT, and I end up blathering to like-minded friends, but I usually refrain from blogging about what’s bothering me for fear of offending people. Now that I think about it, though, one of my most recurring frustrations is the feeling that no one out there is saying what I think, so I may as well start being that change I wish to see in the world.

Thank you again, sir, for a refreshing and much-needed post.

Sandy,

I did not mean to suggest never spell and grammar checking; I have been trying to do a sweep or two before I publish. Even my Mom use to chide me for my typos ;-)

Thanks always for the feedback!

That is my rule! When they call for a single clove, I’m in for the garlic.
