Why create my own blog?
Well, first I must start with a confession...yes, unlike all those inmates locked up in prison I AM GUILTY. I am guilty of thinking disparaging thoughts about blogging! Brand me with the letter H, for hypocrite!
Yes, I was skeptical of the idea at first. Then there was a blog that grabbed my attention and I started following it. Then there was another, and another. Of course, enjoying other people's blogs is not a reason to write one yourself...or is it?
I must also confess that I love writing, acting, public speaking...in other words I like to express myself and I crave an audience!! Reading other people's blogs gave me an idea for a way to feed this monster within.
There is a downside, nay, a DANGER to blogging...and I venture into this with full knowledge. It is the one thing that "attention addicts" like me most fear....no audience!!
So why subject myself to near guaranteed agony. One reason:
I must. The monster within craves an audience!
And so from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for reading.
Please come again!
Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI have a myspace and I posted a few blogs...I feel like it's kind of a mix between a personal journal and talking to a friend. The only person that reads my blogs is my dh. LOL :)
There's a part of me that feels SO silly posting a blog because I know no one else will read it...but...I have done it anyway just a few times.
I'm glad you're blogging, Leslie. You are an amazing, awesome, insightful, always-learning kind of woman...and who wouldn't want to read the mind of Leslie?
You Rock,
Theresa
