To blog or not to blog
I've just been talking to a fellow CCSP blogger who's having some doubts about the whole thing. He said:
"I'm not an interesting person or a good writer"
Well who of us is? OK we do have one creative writer amongst us but interest, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder (or should I say, reader). Did I get the idea wrong, isn't blogging really just about doing it for yourself?
Surely the thing is that, yes, anyone who wants to can read it but they didn't pay money to get in - we're not selling tickets and we're not here to entertain anyone but ourselves.
When Paul first told us of his plan to give us these blogs, I went out and had a look at a few, just to get the idea. Some of them, like Paul's, are technical, a way of recording a project through each process. Some, like Robin's, are more personal and what a wonderful way to record the stages in her pregnancy and the birth of their first child. And, yes, I admit some of those I looked at before this all started were unbelievably dull. Most though, are just ordinary people living ordinary lives.
Mine is a hotch-potch, hence the categories: Work, Rest and Play! Anyone who knows me, knows I talk incessantly and where better to do it. But it's for me: it's my thoughts; my projects; my rants; my banter. I'm no writer and I'm certainly not an interesting person but I'm getting a lot of fun out of this and I hope anyone who's hesitating will do exactly what I did. Put the doubts behind you, jump in feet first and enjoy!
