I have been blogging on and off for several years.
I started at Xanga, then moved to Blogger, and then I stopped for a year or so.
There are bad memories associated with those blogs. I tried to pick up where I left off, but it just wasn't happening. So now here I am- starting all over again.
I stopped blogging because I went through some very hard times. During those times blogging became unimportant and boring to me.
I felt uninspired.
I felt discouraged if I didn't get comments.
I had the blogging blahs.
Now that I have a brand new blog, I am going to blog by a new set of rules:
1. I am blogging for ME, but you are welcome to come along for the ride.
2 I will blog whenever I feel like it. I may blog once a week or several times a day.
3. My posts may be very long, or they may be very short.
4. I will not be discouraged about comments (or lack thereof).
I remember when I first started blogging.
It was fun.
I wrote about my day.
I posted funny pictures, song lyrics, interesting links....anything that caught my eye.
Then I discovered comments.
I gradually began focusing on my readers instead of blogging just for fun.
I would try to think of things they would like to read and when I'd draw a blank I wouldn't blog.
I don't want to do that this time.
I want to be an authentic blogger again.
I want to recapture the fun of blogging- even if no one else likes it. :-)
So I apologize in advance if you find some of my posts boring.
This is my life. Sometimes it is awesome. Sometimes it is excruciatingly mundane. But it's my life and I am enjoying the ride. :)
Bravooooo!!!
