I already feel like a blogger dropout. I knew I would do this. I’m fairly certain that I stated it ahead of time as soon as I started the blog. I said, in an email to a friend, something to the effect of, “Ha ha. I started a blog but I’m sure I’ll be bored of it in no time.”
I’m not actually bored. I just haven’t made it a priority. I have been overwhelmed and busy. I’m also unsure of what I want this blog to be. I know that I should set boundaries. What am I willing to put out there for the whole World Wide Web to see? I haven’t quite decided that yet. Initially, I thought I would use the blog as an outlet to share things with family. Our family, while small, is spread throughout several states. But then I realized that I may, at some point, want to bitch and moan about said family. If that’s the case, I cannot tell them that I have a blog.
I have not told that many people that I have this blog. Three friends. That’s it. But I think about it often. I think about things I could write. I should write. I need to write. But won’t write.
Will it be an online diary? Will it be occasional musings? Will it deal with current events? Or reality TV? Will it be boring and dull (well, yes, probably that one for sure). I don’t know. Things I do not want to deal with, I tend to avoid. The whole ostrich head in the sand thing. That’s my style. I do read a lot of blogs.
Some throw it all out there. Names. Dates. Ages. Word by word descriptions.
Some use pseudonyms while names and dates have been changed to protect the innocent.
Some do a little of both.
I haven’t found my groove yet.
I’m trying.
