Posted on: June 12th, 2008 Should I Blog or Should I Journal?
What are your motivations for writing? Are you driven to be recognized? Are you hoping to be understood? Are you compelled to write?
I cannot be as forthright when I blog. That is obvious. I cannot share my thoughts in an uncensored manner. To do so would be careless and inconsiderate. But the urge to write is so strong. I have fragmented myself across so many avenues in an attempt to draw readers that I have watered down my message beyond hope.
No one will search for this particular blog. Not many, anyhow. But we as people are judgmental. If I share my thoughts on one subject on a different blog, I risk losing the people who are only interested in a niche.
I have no ultimate solution just yet. But for the record, writing to the public sucks.
