Couple of weeks in, but why does this site exist? What's the point?
Writing practice; Photo sharing; Relaxing; Creative outlet
1 and 2 are obvious, 3 and 4 go together. I spent years looking for some creative outlets, tried all sorts and mostly failed. But having a creative outlet makes good use of energy, it calms the mind. Human beings are driven to create. Releasing the tension of non-creating is by definition relaxing.
I have zero hits on the site at this stage, other than my own.
But the point is, the words are written and the pictures are out there. I am no longer holding onto them.
I did a google search on "why blog", came up with the usual "101 reasons to start a blog TODAY" nonsense, one even suggesting that blogging is a waste of time (but oh it isn't really, you just need a STRATEGY....) Beware, blogging is a distraction from making money, sign up and we'll show you how... Oh dear.
Practice skills, express yourself and relax, it's all you need to get out of this. I have no mailing list, no audience, but it won't stop me from scribbling this stuff down.
Looking for the comments box? I switched it off. Get your own blog.
