The 7 Things About Blogging

There are some things I'd like to share about blogging.  

I didn't go to school to become a 'blogger' but I did get a nice degree for other talents, thrice.

Blogging is a job description in and of itself.  It deserves merit, recognition and respect.  

I'd like to hope that through my blogging I'm either inspiring, encouraging, sharing, divulging 

or simply allowing for someone to delve into my world.  

Blogging IS a world that encompasses so many things. 

Here are seven of my blogging observations:

1. Lonely...

Blogging can be a lonely task.  

Although my children are always around me, I'm basically doing this alone.  

I don't ask any of them for their input because, well, it's a complicated issue.  

They'd say, 'mommy is always at her computer.'

2. Lurkers...

Blogging brings about the inevitable.  The lurkers.  Yes, many many lurkers out there that LOVE to come to your blog (yes, we know who you are—our stats give us your websites) and simply peek around not leaving a comment or even say "Hi, I came, I saw. Good-bye." :) 

(smiley faces are good too!)

3. 'Open Book'

Blogging is what the cliché idiom of 'An open book' would be.  

Here, I share my life, my struggles, my fears, my challenges and many photos of myself and my children.  As do MANY other bloggers I admire, read, follow and continue to visit.

4. Outlet...

Blogging is an easy outlet for me and many, I presume.  

It's a place where you can be as vulgar, eloquent, sincere, confessional, 

honest or just plain silly.  You make the rules and you write as you please.  

If someone doesn't like it, they can simply stop reading you.  Period.

5. Crickets...

The one aspect of blogging that is bound to happen is the sound of, 

yes, you guessed it, the crickets.  

It happens to the best of us and worst of us.  

You pour your ♥ into a post and then...crickets! 

I simply cannot take it personally when I continue to see the page views go up but still, 

no comments.  Waaaaaa!! It's quite okay. 

Some people simply have 'screen freight', I get it.  No worries.  

Carry on little crickets, your music is so lovely...♪♬♭♬♪♪♩♬

6. Spam?  No, thank you.  

All bloggers will attest to receiving way too much SPAM.  

No, non-perishables don't fit in our inboxes.

More like the type that gets other 'meats' working, ahem, 'Viagra.' 

SPAM. Is. So. Annoying.

7. The love of it...

The bottom line to all this is: I blog because I simply LOVE it.  Period.  

Writing is my PASSION.  

I love to share my thoughts with the world because creativity is a living, breathing creature within me.
