With talking about writing an blogging, I found this article very insightful and helpful. It provides a great perspective and meaning to writing, it’s importance as an art form, and what your motivation should really be when writing. It’s not about fame, not about building an audience, and not about monetization. Writing is simply about expressing yourself, sharing your thoughts with like minded people, and also opposing views people. It’s to foster dialog, inform and communicate. Like the arts with music or video or photography, it’s your outlet and your transparent exposure of who you are. In reading this article, it has answered some of my questions of why I wanted to blog, and what is the true importance of blogging to myself. Good read, enjoy.
One thought on “The best article I’ve read about blogging”
Comments are closed.
I have a lot of posts in my blog (http://bloghh.wordpress.com) over the years… Mostly unread, only a few readers pass by, but I don’t really care. I write for me, I write so when I’m old and grey and loosing my memory, the blog will remind me of me.
Funny thing, is the most popularly read article is about a mosquito bite: https://bloghh.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/not-just-a-lump-of-coal/
