Frustrated Boomer-Writer needs outlet for written form of expression.
So much comes and goes by the wayside in life - so many thoughts and experiences that remain unshared and unappreciated by anyone except perhaps oneself.
That's okay. I’m actually starting to accept that that’s the way things are designed to be, but sometimes there still resides in me a "need" to share my thoughts and ideas.
Share? Share with whom one might ask? That can be a "deep" subject! Rather than "inflict" my thoughts and idea upon a hapless bypasser or some friend who might feel a duty to "listen," I thought a blog would be a better way. A blog offers a journal-like experience with the added possibility (however slight) that the words might be read by another. Of course, no one need read them, nor make comments if they do for that matter, because it's completely voluntary : - ) .
For a few years now I've wanted to create a newsletter; now that blogs have become so accessible it’s easier to write a newsy letter and “publish” it to the Internet. Making and receiving comments has become much easier as well. Just click comment from your own computer at any time. With just the click of a link a journal is transformed from a dry series of disjointed musings writing often for one’s own purposes of edification or venting to a more polished cohesive piece ready for possible consumption by “someone” else.
Of course that someone else may or may not read my bloggings, but yet the meer possibility that someone "could" changes what I write. That's strange, isn't it? but true. Publishing is a necessary part of writing, creating the need for editing more careful thought and preparation. That editing makes the writing better in most cases.
So, that's the purpose of this writer's blog...just to have an avenue to go "blaa...blaa...blaa," whenever I have the "bandwidth" to contribute to an ongoing dialog with "myself" and/or someone – anyone- else "out there" that might want to "listen." You there? “Hi.” : - )
