I blog because I enjoy writing, and I can keep up with my thoughts better when I type, as opposed to writing in longhand. Leaving it online prevents accidental deletion or loss from a computer crash. Leaving it out in the open invites readers, and their comments if they so choose. I hope to learn from those comments.

Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis |
Part of why I blog is the community. Presenting myself as who I am, neuroses, weaknesses, blemishes and all, I hope to encourage and invite others to get to know me through my writing. In reading my posts, I hope they find something that strikes a chord or has meaning for them. At least, the blog becomes a diary, wherein I hope to improve my self expression - even if no one reads. At most, I hope for positive interaction and dialog, to make friends and learn from their experiences.
Why else do people blog, but to share? Are there any bloggers out there, reading this? What makes you pull that page up, write your thoughts out, and publish that post?

After seeing that question yesterday - all I can say is, you stole my blog today. LOL. And hey - if you have three followers - that's two more than me! :)
I say just do it. Whatever makes you happy. Whatever floats your boat. If anyone reads it, great. If not, that's great too because it made you happy while doing it. Right? Right.
As you were...
It doesn't matter what others say or think, as long as what you are doing makes you happy. Blog away!
I couldn't post on your blog so I'm writing here....
Interesting how my question became a topic of discussion....lol
"Whatever floats your boat" like Amy said, I agree with.
...I find now at this time of my life that I don't share too much what's on my mind. Call me introverted but I don't share as much info... when I feel the need to vent then I will write stuff. Guess it all depends on my mood. I do believe it's good therapy to write and if it helps a person then I'm all for that.
