Some novels are written from the first perspective of self, but this article won’t be, Blogs are like diaries, and vlogs are like a long movies about your life. There must be an objective of your blog, right? Whether you have one specific area of interest, or like to document the intricacies of your everyday life, blogging is the most personal creative writing you can do.

My own experience with blogging
The first day I started my blog was the most exciting. My followers on Twitter and Facebook wanted a first glance at the site they knew I would be posting about. You can check in my bio to view some of my recent posts. This fledgling blog is still in it’s infancy, but there are so many well established blogs out there with enough staying power for their creator’s to make money. During my own experiences with blogging I’ve found it can be challenging, but who doesn’t enjoy a challenge? Blogging can be therapy for a broken heart, or a way to express a non amorous interest with creative expression, and devotion to certain things. Your cat may have a funny way of telling you that you shouldn’t have glasses that aren’t tipped over, or maybe you enjoy hot yoga. If more than two people enjoy something, you can be assured that there is someone out there blogging about it. If you can’t find a blog about something it is either highly illegal or no one else likes that. If you’re problem is the latter you need to get out more.
You might be able to help someone special
All around the world people are logging in, and kids are growing up with computers now. A young Googler is taking his or her first steps into the web and typing their first words into a search engine. They would like it if they could find something helpful or personally meaningful to them. Kids might not be too mature in some ways but you would be surprised how well they can operate computers, or read your blog. Some of the older generations didn’t have the luxury advancing technology provides our children. Building our world wide networks and massive stores of information is time consuming, but there are billions of people inputting things into sites and your site could find many of them.
It can be simple
Blogging can be as short as a poem or as long as you want it to be. It doesn’t have to be something that consumes all of your time, but it can rewarding even if it’s just sharing your hobby with the world. Featured photo credit: Via Flickr By: zeitfaenger.at via flickr.com
