For the love of the written word
This post is a response to Robert's post about blogging more, which was a response to BinaryDigit's original post.
Anyone who writes, and writes a lot, will tell you, blogging is one of those things that, like writing (and maybe reading too) we have no control over. The compulsion to share our words is strong and so, we blog. We may not blog daily, though if we do, we may not share lengthy epic posts but rather a series of short, thoughtful posts about things that pop into our heads throughout the day that we need to put to paper or, in this case, onscreen. To share or just to remember.
Like we're blogging post-it notes for later.
As Sylvia quotes:
I blog for an audience of one: me.
Which is true for most of us. We're emptying our brains and, sometimes, as I know I have this last year, our heart and soul out onto the screen by way of understanding things that going on around us, or happening to us. Blogging is, for all intents and purposes, at various times, our therapy.
At least, for me, all this is true. Blogging has, at times, become my therapy and my release, my outlet for creativity, and well, just a place to record my thoughts on anything and everything.
So, as Robert wrote:
In the world of blogging, the www bit stands for: Write Whatever Whenever
Advice I, for one, intend listening to and following.
