When I wrote the last post about blogging being hard, I began to think about all the aspects of blogging. I'd been having trouble with my writing lately and that included the blogging part too. When I started this blog, I was really nervous. It involves putting myself out there. Something I'm only gradually becoming comfortable with. My thoughts and words are out there floating on the world wide web for everybody to see. A daunting thought for me at times.
Why has it been rewarding? Many reasons but the biggest of which is the trolling I've done of other blogs. I would search out blogs before but not on a regular basis. I wasn't a follower of any particular one. Now, I'm a regular follower of at least five blogs. I get on my page and connect to those other sites several times a day. I feel like I'm learning a lot in doing that. Looking at these other blogs often provokes a thought in me leading me to an entry here or leading to something with my WIP.
In many ways, this blog is like my writing journal. I'm able to pour out all my thoughts, good and bad, about this most difficult of processes-writing a novel. I love writing and I find I love blogging as well. To keep going through the hard times is one of the hallmarks of a real writer. I like to think that's me.
Blogging is rewarding. I promise;-)
