So, recently I was gifted an award by Margo Kelly!
Instead of choosing bloggers to get this wonderful award, I'd like to ask a question, and then have anyone who comments get the award and pass it on as well... If you'd like to comment, you have to take the award. If you'd like the award, you have to comment! Please link back to this post
The question: Why did you start blogging?
*I* started blogging originally to see what kind of mark (or scar, depending on how you look at it) I could leave on the Internet. It's now become more accurately, a place where I can dump some thoughts, interact with great people, and perhaps have some thoughts available for future friends and family members to get to know me when I'm gone.
You??
I started blogging to have a place for my poems and family memories. It has developed into a place for not only its original purpose but also a forum for my ideas and opinions. I have met some wonderful people and received so much encouragement from them. There have been challenges which I have accepted and which have aided in my growth as a blogger. I can't imagine not doing this now. It is an important part of my life.
ReplyDeleteI originally started blogging because it's cheaper than therapy. I still have that journal, though I've been spending my efforts on gaming in an attempt to get back into the flow of a hobby I enjoy. Between my blog and Twitter (which is great for one-shot witticisms) I'm finding an audience of peers and forging symbiotic relationships.
ReplyDeleteRock on, and keep the artwork classy. *grin*
i had a new DSLR only months old and i was finding i was too busy to take pictures with it. i started a blog so i'd have to commit to posting a picture a day (give or take a few!). that led to writing about what i see or feel. blogging is still one of the most enjoyable, relaxing parts of my day. i still love it.
ReplyDeletematt, i referenced you and your award, which i am shamelessly snagging, here. congratulations on your 200th post!!
Excellent comments!
ReplyDeleteMBJ - The blogger community is great, I've met some great people, and probably never would have stuck with it had I never met them!
TWW - Amen! And I will keep the artwork just as it is... anything else would be more difficult, and I don't need that. :D
Chris - You were one of the first blogs I followed when I got my start, and contributed a lot to the fact that I'm still doing it! :D
