One of the cool things about a blog is that it is informal. The language can be conversational and I tend to let my though flow through the keypad without stressing too much about sentence structure or perfect wording. Blogging is a liberating way to write with the freedom and vulnerability of journaling mixed with the added excitement of having an audience – maybe even someone to care about what we are blabbing about! (Everything I desire can be traced back to power-hunger and the need to be influential.)
The problems with blogging, which are related to all the good things, arise when I read back over the things I wrote (usually after posting them) and realize I was rambling, made entirely obvious grammatical errors or made absolutely no sense. My remarks intended to be clever or insightful come across as underdeveloped or stuck-up.
So a message to my readers: I welcome critiques. I hope to become a better writer through this blogging experience and like it take a village to raise a child it will take a team of citizen editors to school this wanna-be writer.
