I recently got some advice that I should take up writing. I usually don't like being told what to do, but I've had the itch recently.
So. Here's this. I'm not even really sure what a blog is. I think it's like a diary, but online. Unlike a diary, people seem to want others to read it.
I think it's an interesting concept. Share what you think and feel with others. All from the comfort of your family room. It's a lot like connecting with someone. Just a lot less complicated. Think about it. If you're doing it right, your readers are only privy to your cleverest thoughts. Blogging has even become a 'hobby' with some. I wonder if anyone ever listed Diary-ing as a hobby. With a name like that I doubt anyone would. Sounds much too much like incontinence. I wonder what Anne Frank called it.
I had a diary when I was younger. It had two entries; one was about how my brother was driving me nuts, the other was about a fort I'd built. One was about a strong emotion- anger. The other was about something common, yet important, in my everyday life. Both seemed important enough to write about a decade and a half ago.
15 years later, they both seem like silly entries. I wonder how this will look in 15 years.
