Maybe it’s because I grew up with computers, but I don’t get the guilty feeling. I’m proud of my blog. Most of my friends know I blog, and a good many of them read my blog on a daily basis.

Superb post. Very well written. But I must say that blogging has given every aspiring writer a window to lots of readers. Gone are the days when he was at the mercy of Editors now, one can be once own editor and enjoy a fan following just like you John.
I admire your language and the skill of writing. You have a lot of talent. Congratulations on a brilliant post.

I also remember when we had no personal computers, and I am also a writer and a blogger. I experience blogging differently.

There is a relationship between what I write online and the other writing I do. Sometimes a blog post can get the writing juices flowing for other creative work–it fires up the engine, so to speak. It also allows me to feel connected to the larger world through writing, which isn’t always happening otherwise.

I enjoy the interplay between my artistic writing and the more conversational voice I have in my blog writing.

I’m a total newbie to the blogging world, having just begun the middle of this month. I wanted to blog about the jewelry I design, yet I didn’t want to just blog about jewelry. So I’ve justified the indulgence by also writing about my childhood relationship with my wonderful and eccentric aunt.

I’m finding the experience very pleasurable, although I often wonder who might be interested in reading my blog. And I’ve often thought about writing a children’s book about summers with my aunt and the times I was sent home for behaving badly. Perhaps blogging may offer the opportunity to take the next step.
