Thoughts on blogging...
I know I'm just getting started on this whole blogging thing, but I have to admit this probably isn't my favorite part. I'm not very good at 'putting myself out there' for the world to see, or in this case, read about. I like to read other people's blogs and have always thought how easy it must be for them to type out their feelings and thoughts and share them with potentially millions of people. I have a friend in Australia who blogs about some of the hardships she's faced since moving there with her husband (originally from Australia) and the difficulties she faces everyday being a stay-at-home mom to two young children. I love to read it and usually check in every day to see what's new, but she broadcasts some pretty personal thoughts and I don't think I'm the type of person who can do that and be comfortable with it. Perhaps the other blog I started for the class I'm taking will fare better for me, since it's dealing with educational issues and resources for the families I work with.

It makes you wonder why these people don't keep a diary, doesn't it. Do you suppose it is cathartic to let the whole world know of your problems?
ReplyDeleteNice job on the blog : )
Is it old fashioned to think that there should be a distinction between private writing and public writing? I have been thinking alot about the ease with which people can publish their work these days. In some ways it's great, but I think we are still in the process of working out what SHOULD be published and what should be left private. I think it's still useful to ask who needs/wants to read what I have to say. If it's only me (and that's ok!) it can stay unpublished.
