I’ve been swept up in a blog tornado and question why I blog here. Why I blog at all? When I first started, I felt as if I had to say something meaningful, something serious, something that felt like a ton of bricks. A friend commented, “Just write for goodness sakes!” And I did.
But what I’m finding out is that blogging is not just about writing. It’s more than that. I’ve just finished reading Naked Conversations for a class in digital technology, and now I care about my blog. Before, I wrote about my life and thoughts because I am a writer and writers share these types of things. But now, I feel I should do more than share. I am not a fan of “shoulds” in general, but when you blog, you are held responsible for the chain of exchanges that will follow. You guide a conversation that will transform into something you have no control over simply because it has been picked up and picked apart by readers. And you have to be OK with it.
In case you’re curious, you can find a link to my blog for class, musings of a mediabot, here.
