Here we are
two years after the real start of this blog and what have I learned? First and foremost, that writing a daily blog
is a HUGE commitment. To write with
consistent quality and interest is a full time job so needless to say the
writing has been erratic in the extreme.
The flip side is that blogging gives me an avenue to express my opinions
on a world stage, be that world ever so small.
Family anecdotes and celebrity stories are more popular than political
ravings. Musings on the meaning of life
also elicit more comments than worrying about health or safety.
But
where do the stories come from on a daily basis? When you don’t lead an exciting life it’s
hard to discover new topics every day.
There are stories in the paper that invite comments but how often can I
question the sanity of humanity? There is
always the danger of blogging becoming journaling and I’ve had a few of those
moments. At the end of the day though I
just write what’s in this mature woman’s mind and let the chips fall where they
may.
More
than ever I’ve learned to appreciate columnists, journalists, and authors for
their stick-with-it-ness. Not only are
they searching for stories to write, they then have to write them, and then
they have to send them out into the world and wonder if they are being read and
appreciated. Occasionally they are read
and then one must endure the criticism that may pop up. It’s a daunting profession.
I’ve
survived two years and I hope I’m up to the challenge of going into the third
year. Come along for the ride and I will
make you laugh.
