The Trouble with Blogs

Here I am again… writing on yet another topic, another idea to bring to my readers and yet I am stumped.  True I love to write but I fear that what I write won’t be good enough, won’t evoke enough thought, knowledge for my readers and so I bring up a question.

What’s wrong with blogging?  You would say, nothing, but that could be debated.  How many times have you read the same story over and over because you like it.  The trouble being that if you read the same things, your mind isn’t growing.  The same holds true with blogs.  Even if a blog seems to say the same thing, look closer at it.  Every time you read it, look for something new.

I dare you to look for something new in this blog each time you read it.  I started out blogging about plays about four years ago because I basically had to.  Now I am challenging myself to branch out and blog about whatever I see, whatever I encounter and whatever I experience.

The truth is there is nothing wrong about blogging about the same topics.  As the writer it is a challenge each time we sit down in front of our computers and start pounding the keyboard with new ideas, new concepts, but for you as the reader, it is equally challenging.

You are reading blogs with new, virgin eyes.  You haven’t the slightest idea what the person will be blogging about or maybe you do, but regardless the writer surprises you each and every time and that’s good.

Really it’s all good.
