My blog is experimental.
I throw things in that I’m not sure people will like or read or make them want to come back.
I take some things out for good; rework other things; put things back in without change just because I feel like.
Sometimes I post something and go about my day or night. Something has been bothering me, and I realize that I just have to take a word out, or put in another.
Blogs are fluid, and changes can be made at whim.
Blogs feel like living and breathing creatures.
Blogs are the one form of communication where mistakes can be easily (at first) rectified.
It’s one, communication tool and art form, that I enjoy, and that gives me great personal satisfaction.
I would say I don’t care if other people don’t like it, but does anybody not care if people like them or not?
It’s the degree of caring that makes the difference.
Not caring at all sounds almost not human; caring too much presents too many problems and generally is reflected in the quality of the writing.
Does anybody who writes, not write for an audience?
Sometimes I pretend not to; those could be my best and my worst posts.
Being me they can be best and worst in one post.
My blog and I, we’re finding our center together.
Sometimes the road is rocky; sometimes smooth.
I do so love an audience; and I have to admit that.
My blog and I, we’re here for the long run.
We like the attention; and we like to just post.
Anything wrong with admitting that?
Hi Pia! (Tried to post yesterday morn via coming here from Cranky’s site. Fascinating reads here. 🙂 Here, here for independent thinking! Your descrip in “about me” struck a chord in me yesterday. Thx for dropping by my site. Going back now to make those comments that froze up on me yesterday.

hey, isn’t that what blogs are for? 😉
Blogs are blogs. Oddly enough, it took me forever to start one. Something about the sound of the name *blog* put me off. Go figure. Yeah sure.. we do it for the attention to our words. I do. Don’t we all?
I love you bloooooog. It’s very pretty and well thought out. Nice!
I like what you said about blogs being fluid. Good post, well done.
nope nothing wrong with that
I post what ever comes to mind and really don’t post for anyone. It’s kinda my way of venting for me. I could really care less if it’s read or not. I will admit it is really nice to get a comment and connect with someone out there in this big world, but I don’t live for it.
I also love the random audience of BE and the like. I realize that almost none of those readers come back, but I like to think they’ve had an ok 30 seconds.

we (bloggers) are all attention seekers. at least you’re honest about it! 🙂
definitely fun posts 🙂 I’m sure your synergetic relationship with your blog will pay off.
This is the very topic I blogged on today myself. What is the nature of the blog? Who defines it, if not ourselves? It’s our blog — we are beholden to no one about it. They are indeed like living breathing creatures. Good post.
Of course not. Everyone blogs from a need to put themselves in front of an audience, some of us are willing to admit it, some of us aren’t. I have many uses for my blog, a lot of it is personal–once I get it on the page I feel better, and the rest is from a need of validation. Very nice look by the way. Great design.
we can also invert that question and ask : “Is there anything right about that?” hehehe
There are some people who keep blog journals who don’t advertise them. I think they are the only ones who don’t care about an audience. But, the rest of us have other reasons for blogging and it includes engaging with others and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that.
Hi Pia. We’re back. It was nice to catch up with your blog.
I like it so far! 🙂
