To have a personal blog, he said, you need to have a life. There has to be something to write about other than that there is nothing to write about. He was right, this old friend of mine. Not old as in age but old as in known him forever. But that is beside the point, I suppose. He had a blog. He said. But stopped blogging as it was all he did and he ran out of things to talk about.
He had no life. Apparently.
And he looked, at me. And I tried really hard not to make it mean that he thought I had no life. That wasn’t what he was saying. I’m sure of it. Really. Was he? Anyway, the point is that sometimes I have a million things I could write about. Some days, nothing. I try not to fluff or fill this blog, but sometimes, it probably looks like I do.
But mostly, when I have been out and about, at work, at play and doing things, I have more to talk with you all about. I’m not one of those writers who develop a story and plan it and finally put fingers to keyboard. I’m a blurter. Sometimes I don’t even read through my posts before hitting publish. Bad grammar and spelling be damned. I’m saying what I have to say NOW. Right, Mr or Mrs Anonymous!? Sharing my life, when it happens, that is what appeals to me. Otherwise, I’d have to think about what I was going to post, and geez, that seems like hard work to me.
What do you think? Do you need to have a life to have a blog OR does a blog mean you have no life and are hiding behind a computer screen instead of getting out and about with people? Does your blog suffer when you’ve got no life? Or do you just make something up {as in research and develop a post, not fabricate an exciting life… Or DO YOU fabricate an exciting life!?}.
Tell me, would you?
