Well, as you can see by my massive number of posts thus far, I'm just not clicking with this blogging thing. But they say if you want to be published, you have to build a platform. So here I am, trying to build a platform, and so far, it's a very rickety one. My problem is, I can't fathom why anyone would care to hear from me--an ordinary person with an ordinary life. To be worthy of my own blog, shouldn't I be famous? Or have a life full of adventures worth sharing with the world? Or have some wisdom or domestic skills the general public would find useful? I have none of that. I go to work and try to wade through my world of government bureaucracy without drowning in it. Then, I come home and write--when I don't have to go to class, clean the house, do laundry, run errands, pull weeds, do dishes, clean gutters, play Frisbee with my overly-energetic one year old lab mix, spend time with my daughter before she flies the coop, or try to figure out what interesting tidbit I could possibly put into a blog.
All that being said, rather than blogging to the world (it is the WORLD wide web, after all), I'll be blogging to my friends, and anyone else can listen in. ;)
Traci, I find that any little thing that pops into my head and starts to form a paragraph warrants a blog post. Some of those items are more interesting than others, but all of them allow me to express myself and become a better writer. So blog away! It doesn't matter what the topic is.
