Blogging: Don't Knock It 'Til You Rock It!
...... posting comments to my entries, so I knew people were out there . . . reading.
So, are blogs true journals or not'
My first thought was 'no.' Blogging seemed more like a conversation with friends than personal journaling. After all, personal journaling is all about recording private thoughts and blogs are public.
However, my thoughts about blogging are changing. A little at a time, I reveal who I am through my blog. My blog posts are evolving into thoughts and observations about life that I no longer self-edit. It's been a liberating experience.
In my personal journal, I write things that I know to be true about myself that I'm unable to reveal for one reason or another. Once I'm done journaling, I tuck the journal in a drawer, put on my mask and go out into the world.
Not being true to who I really am causes all kinds of problems in my relationships. Further, if my behavior doesn't line up with my values, it keeps me from meeting important goals, growing spiritually and compromises my physical and mental health.
It's important to keep a personal journal for my eyes only ' I always will. But integrating some of the thoughts I record in my journal with my public blog is peeling away layers of self-consciousness and tentativeness.
I knew I was a true blogger when I re-read a blog post and, instead of editing it, I thought, 'This is who I am, and, hey, I'm okay!'
Promote Your Books By BloggingA blog is the best tool in your Internet marketing arsenal. Why' Search engines spider (check for updates) blogs more often than ..... My new philosophy as a blogger is: The closer I can get to integrating my true self into my public self, the better off I am. And, of course, 'Don't knock it 'til you rock it!'
