Why do you blog?

Might as well squeeze another unnecessary post in for the day.

Today’s prompt is perhaps the most relevant of all the prompts I’ve ever recieved, including the ones about writing. It is arguably the ultimate question of all time bloggery…

“WHY THE fornication DO YOU BOTHER?!”

Well, I’m going to be thoroughly unpretentious here with you. No elabourate metaphors, no age worn phrases, yes obligatory stalling – it’s too late to avoid the latter.

I have set this blog up to share my ideas – my writing, my characters, my art. I’m sick of bottling them up to myself and wish to, perhaps dangerously, reach out and share them with the world. I don’t want people to necessarily like what I produce – who knows, maybe I’m producing completely tripe. I just want to leave a mark, get some feedback and improve the best I can. As for why I OWN a blog: It’s decent social, when I get in conversations with other users, especially other writers. I want to read something inspiring to keep my writing fresh, ‘kay? Sure, I don’t entirely agree with what some people post on wordpress, just getting that out there – I’m mortal, after all. But that’s inevitable; better than living in an echo chamber.

Weel, that’s enough of me rambling. I bet you’ve had enough of my tripe for today. Anyhoo, I’ll leave you be. My blessing of a good evening still stands!
