Writing Of Courage

[nfotxn]

I often wonder about this medium. They say that blogging is 90% reflection on the meaning and importance of blogging. My question is how it integrates into my life. Do I live to blog? What are my biases and intentions? What do I reveal?

But I think it is at this point with honesty and courage that I both live to tell about the few fantastic things and sublimate the mundane for deeper meaning.

It ain't easy. And I'm still learning to write as best I can. With accountability to myself and others via the medium I hope to write something passionate.

And a whole lot of way-skippable posts about Apple Computers and indiesnob records.

Who is "they"?

Other bloggers, journalists. Can't cite my source, don't remember.

For the record, I love posts about indiesnob records.

341 friends and 3 responses to this intriguing post. Boo, I say.

I don't know if this applies to you, but it could, so I'll say it.

I blog to remember things. I blog so that my faraway friends can keep track of me (though this kind of kills conversation, it seems.). I blog because having to put my thoughts into words forces me to understand what I'm tapping out; if I don't, then no one will understand what's going on. <--- This is a big deal for me because I can have issues understanding my own feelings.

Have you come up with anything new on why you blog?

Also, I'd be very interested in talking to you elsewhere. I have contact information on my User Info page. All I give is the vessel. The killer may fire at will.

say, brodie, this might be interesting for you. it's an article from Bonnie Nardi et al, called "Blogging as social activity, or, Would you let 900 million people read your diary?" you can get it here (http://fismat.umich.mx/~crivera/p222-nardi.pdf). I guarantee you it'll be interesting for you, regarding this post, that is. give it a try ;)
