why web journals suck: an essay certainly reminded me about my purpose for journalling. Does mine suck?
My original intention was to incorporate site updates and family updates. This blog still performs that purpose. I also like to showcase my abilities because the people in my life don’t seem to care. I do get recognition online and it makes me glow.
Am I worried about people reading my blog? No, because the really personal stuff goes in my paper journal. I also write paper journals for my children. It certainly has a different feel and approach to the expression.
Am I doing this because I’m into drama, depressed, an exhibitionist, lonely? Probably all of the above. Isn’t that what most online journallers are about?
Will I keep doing it? I certainly will. I don’t know whether anyone finds my writing helpful or even interesting…but it’s still here. Maybe the most important thing is that this journal is an avenue of my expression.
