a whole new(?) world.

Blogging.

It’s not a recent phenomenon, I know, but it’s one that I’ve only recently paid any attention to really (probably because I actually maintain my own now). It’s a bit crazy really. What once used to remain stashed away at the back of the drawer, in a shoe box, covered with irrelevant paper, marked “DO NOT OPEN” is now openly available to be read by people all over the world – at the writer’s choice!!

Ok, so it might not be a diary, but in some ways blogs are just as personal. People only start blogs about something they are interested in; something they are happy (and able) to write about regularly; something they want the world to see/read/feel. And that can reveal a whole lot more about a person than a minute-by-minute guide to their day so far. Plus, it’s a lot more interesting. It’s most interesting, when you know the writer behind the writing. I’ve found friends with seemingly schizophrenic writer tendencies. That is they sound like completely different people when they write for their blogs; it’s a side of them I’ve never had the chance to see, and it thrills me to no end!

So, come and join in the experience. Get blogging! Start by reading some (check my blogroll for a few) and then write to your heart’s content.
