Let's All Agree This Is Going To Be An Adventure

I am neither an expert, nor an amateur. I guess you might just say I’m intermediate perhaps. Having a personal blog and all, I’ve gotten into the swing of sharing my unfiltered thoughts with a bunch of strangers, who are internally either laughing or judging me.

I would vouch through experience that the most difficult part of creating a blog is just getting the ball rolling. The doubting thoughts are the worst, I mean there are so many things: what do I call it, is this good enough to release into the cyber world, what if they hate me, am I rambling, maybe I’m not cut out for this? My remedy was quite simple you see…you just get over it! I mean once you understand that this is YOUR blog, not Jenny’s, Joe’s, or Mary’s blog, you resolve the problem.

I always had a narrow-minded opinion about blogs…and I frown upon my naïve ways. I won’t lie, I always thought that blogs were “venting” forums for people that are too scared to say things out loud, but I couldn’t be more incorrect. There are so many kinds of blogs that rang from story telling to advice column and each one is unique just like the person writing them.

Blogging vs The Book of Faces. Sure they are both free sites that you may express yourself freely on with out “judgment” and let people know where you are, how you’re doing, what you are doing, how you feel, and of course what you think. But let’s look deeper if you don’t disagree. Facebook is literally a book of faces, with pretty little captions describing people, and random notifications of events. Facebook is where you say something, and hope no one starts beef with you. When it comes to blogging there is none of this nonsense of keeping tabs on people. When you write your blog you don’t have to worry about Bill and Tina or Jena or anyone else. YOUR blog is about you, and anyone that doesn’t approve may slam their laptop closed or politely exit the screen, but no matter what these are your thoughts, and the best part is there is no globe on the left side of the newsfeed that tells people what you write.  

I feel like the connection between writing and blogs is the concept of creative writing. You are creatively describing your thoughts and writing them down. If it were in a notebook that these thoughts were written…it would still be writing.

If you disagree, that’s fine we can agree to disagree ‘till the next post.
