For the last four years, I have
blogged once a week, every Monday at 6 am.
Why?
1.
Discipline.
It started as an exercise, forcing me to come up with a topic, forcing
me to write it with economy, and forcing me to break out of my introverted
shell. Once I promised a weekly blog, I had to keep my word for those who have
come to expect my Monday ramblings.
2.
To test my voice.
I love to write. It is what I
do. Writing is my “creative thing,” my
dance, my song, my form of expression, so I write to test and practice my
voice.
3.
To create an interest in my writing. I blog to communicate with others, to chat,
laugh, and comfort those who look forward to my weekly blogs. I sometimes write
about the craft of writing. Sometimes I
journal, sharing memories or beliefs in hopes that they resonate the same in
the reader’s thoughts.
Sometimes I just want to offer comfort or a good laugh. It is what I do.
