Blog?...What's this 'Blog' business? Why do people blog? This has been my quandary for the past couple years. I thought a blog was simply a diary. I suppose it can be but I suddenly realized it's potentially much more than that.
Yesterday I read the blog of a work associate (thanks Adrienne). It was like a lightning bolt hit me...THIS IS THE MEDIUM FOR ME!!! Since my adolescent years I've enjoyed writing short stories. I majored in English (for one semester) in college but oddly enough I didn't have the mental stamina to do all the mandatory reading and writing that went with it. I love the English language and the use of colorful words but for some reason I only thought of lofty projects, like writing a novel or actually working for a publication. But those seemed too much like work. I wanted to have fun.
Now I can Blog! It's an outlet for getting my thoughts out and if anyone should stumble on it and enjoy it, then that's a bonus!
Anyway...enough of the preliminaries. I wanna write some stuff!
