I’m a crappy blogger

making an effort

To be a good blogger requires and honesty.  It’s the same problem I used to have when I was little and had a diary.  I used to write in my diary KNOWING my mother would read it-so I wasn’t completely honest.  “ Dear Diary, I really love mowing the lawn and can’t wait to do it on Saturday.” I’d also try deflect attention to my other siblings.  “Dear Diary, I told Mikelle if I catch her sneaking out the basement window at midnight to go jump on the neighbor’s trampoline one more time, I’m going to tell!” Consequently, I think I defeated the whole purpose of having a diary-a secret place to work out your most intimate thoughts.  I could never get over the idea that once you write something down, you have to assume it’s possible for the whole world to read it someday.  You know on some huge interactive thing like the internet.  So I’m going to make a real effort to semi-regularly blog and will probably mostly lie.

    Great news.  Getting to read what you guys do when your not on the air is interesting to me.

    I’m curious.  Did you get out and find that “me” time you needed the last time you blogged?

    If you have a problem writing a truthful blog, why not try to write an atypical blog.  I write a fake news blog, but I’ve seen blogs with comics, false stories, poetry, and many others.
    Also, if you have a problem writing, don’t force yourself to do so.  Forcing yourself to write can at times screw up your writing process, and in the end, make what you write worse.

    I don’t blog for the very same reason.

    I like Red’s idea of the atypical blog.  How about interesting sites from around the city?  I would really enjoy a blog about your kids but I’m not sure you want their pics and stories all over the internet…

    GL!

    I hate to say it but I agree Gina, you have been a crappy blogger here.  That being said, your job is kind of like a live voice blog so I can imagine how it would be difficult to find anything to say to your computer. 

    I would recommend a food blog for you!  Blogging about what horrible-tasting things Joe made you eat and blogging about what horrible-for-your-body things you ate because you wanted to.  Maybe even with pictures. 

    Or you might want to try twitter.com.  You can only make very short blogs (but can do from your cell phone and such) and they seem to be becoming really popular.
