My blog habits…
I unplugged over the weekend (at brother’s wedding on the farm). Doing so I was able to reflect on on I dip into the social media pool. I realized a couple of things.
1 - I am a horrible writer.
2 - I don’t actively participate in social media.
In regards to (1), that will just take time and the forgiveness of the blogosphere till I get my writing skills up to speed.
Number (2) though was a larger…ah ha moment for myself. I read tons of blogs but I don’t comment. I don’t put myself out there even though I know the value of doing so. So, starting today every blog article I read (not scan, actually read) I am going to drop a comment in. I’ll be part of the conversation which I’ve been only listening to for the last couple of years.
Herb I know exactly what you mean. When I started blogging a year ego, I felt lost. What to read and what to write about was always an issue. And my writing skills, well I’m still working on that. Is harder for me since English is my second language. Just hang around; soon you will feel more comfortable. A tip I learned some time ego is that to write you have to read, and read a lot. Ciao.
The more you start commenting on others blogs the easier it gets.
It’s still funny that for all the blog reading over the years I’ve actually been pretty silent from the conversation.
