Okay, I was tagged by Nancy Marmolejo at Comadre Coaching (a business coach for creative women whom I highly, highly recommend--contact her now!) and asked why I blog. The truth is that I don't, not on a regular basis anyway. I admit to ambivalence about the whole blogging thing. This is partly because, as a freelance writer and editor, I deal with words, words, words, all day, every day, so writing still more words doesn't hold a lot of appeal. It's also because I often feel bombarded with information, between books, newspapers (Iraq! Afghanistan!), magazines, television (Anna Nichole's funeral!), newsletters, enewsletters (take vitamins A-Z, and lots of them!), and online news. Enough already! Can anyone really want to read more words?
There, I feel better. So why would I blog, if I did?
1. It would allow me to get stuff like this off my chest.
2. In every issue of the newsletter I edit and publish for women 40+, Finding Our Way: Wit and Wisdom for Women, I encourage readers to check out my blog. So probably it would be good if there were something there for them to read.
3. This reminds me of the song "If I Loved You," from the musical Carousel. For those of you didn't used to sing along to the album on the turntable, in this number, Billy Bigelow and Julie sing to one another about how they'd feel if they were in love, while we, the audience, can see that they are. Maybe I would actually like to blog, and all this protesting is so much hooey.
Well, then, maybe I'll go back to blogging. Stay tuned.
