Why do you blog?

I have resurrected my old Amazing Grace blog, although it's name is now Practice Makes Perfect. It is where I am planning to keep my journalistic attempts. I'm not sure how it is going to go. For my first "article", I'd like to discuss why people blog.

It really comes from my last interview with the editor where he expressed his displeasure over my lack of experience...I guess blogging doesn't count. While I am going to do some online research, I would also like to get your input, dear readers. If you would rather not be cited in my article, that's ok, just say so when you comment. But please, tell me: what kind of blog do you have {you know, personal journal, humourous, fictional, etc.}, and why do you do it? Also, for statistic sake, are you an adult?


I am getting ready to publish the 'article' I've written - does anyone else have anything to add?

I think i can safely say I am an adult - in years anyway. It is almost two years since I started Past Imperfect at the instigation of my elder son. He realised that as a result of my husband's health our travelling would be greatly curtailed and blogging would keep me out of mischief.
After months of commenting on other blogs I was persuaded to start one of my own - maybe to get me out of their comment boxes.
I started what I suppose is my autobiography and have been fortunate in collecting faithful and encouraging readers. Now I do three posts a week - one of which is the story and the other two whatever takes my fancy.
My reward is some real friends, productive feed back and endless encouragement which makes me resolve to make a book of the story - if I live long enough.
I hope this is helpful. I'm glad Michele sent me:)

Michele sent me to give you my thoughts, so for what it's worth here they are:

I started to blog about the same time my marriage was going seriously awry. I had been through some tough times already with surgery and another illness. I don't know whay I started to blog really as I have rarely written about my separation or divorce, I think I needed somewhere where these things weren't if you know what I mean. I mostly post about niff naff and trivia that I come across in every day life, days out, and some other things that are going on. It has also become a place to share my photos and I am lucky enought to have several loyal readers now.

Hope this helps.

Well you know a lot about me already, Ciera!

As you know I started my blog in April 2005. Which subject was always a tricky one. I decided to pick something I know about!

which part of that would you like me to quote Jean-Luc?
My blog is more of an online diary than anything else.

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.

My Brother's Question and Answer Segment

As you all know from yesterday's post and comments, my brother slammed me on a few of my survey answers. I've left his questions/comments in black and my answers in blue. Letter: Q Now, I wonder why you would like the letter Q. I wonder what Jean-Luc REALLY thinks about that? Uhm---it's the only Star Trek related letter. :P Any comment Jean-Luc?? Body Part on Opposite sex: smile Age you wanna lose your Virginity: How old am I now? LOL Can these two answers really correspond? It sounds to me like you might be lying in one of these. What???? Sex doesn't start with a smile? Besides....you should see his smile. Strawberry or Watermelon: watermelon What! Watermelon! You...You... TRAITOR! :P Kiss or Hug: both Now, this answer seems to correspond well with both your answers in the above mentioned two questions. And your point is? Rap or Punk: rap You really like rap? Uhm...I think TobyMac counts as rap and I like a few of his songs. I also like hiphop. Wanna see me dance with ...
