AND THEN Javacia sent along a prompt for each day. 30 fabulous prompts. Prompts I really wanted to discover my own answers to. So. Here I am! Day 1. Why I Blog. Thanks, Javacia. :)
I blog to SHARE and to CONNECT. I've been blogging since November of 2005. NINE YEARS. Wowza!
This space allows me to SHARE things that are important to me - art, family, books, poetry, people, travel, food.... I've often said to others that my blog is for those who want to know more about me. I don't promote my blog or think of it in monetary terms; it's simply there for those who want it. (Perfect for introverted me!)
...and to CONNECT with others who have similar interests. Some of my favorite people in the world are ones I discovered through blogging communities, like Poetry Friday. It's a beautiful thing! I also use this space to publicly acknowledge those wonderful readers/teachers/librarians who have touched my life in small and tremendous ways.
Some years I blog more than others. Over my lifetime as a blogger, my most regular schedule is 3 times a week. Every two years I use Blog to Print to bind a copy of my posts. It's a wonderful record! Truly a web log, a journal of sorts, a scrapbook of some aspects of my life.
Thank you for reading! :)
Nine years! I'm impressed! So glad you keep going -- you are a breath of fresh air :-) Blog to Print sounds interesting. I may look into it...
ReplyDeleteWow-Irene, nine years is a long time. Good for you for continuing on. Even in the short time I've been blogging I've "met" a few bloggers whose posts I enjoyed, & they've stopped. I'm glad you're here! I know about Blog To Print, & should do it. Once in awhile I worry that I'll lose it all. Happy Sunday!
