My daughter Kaitlin commented earlier on here that we're both diehard bloggers and it's true. I started mine at her urging a little over a year ago when I had a lot of personal issues going on in my life and nowhere to really vent. As Kaitlin knows, my way of dealing with emotional stuff is by writing and she said she thought blogging would really help. Oh, what a wise young woman she is! By getting a lot of 'baggage' out in the open and learning thru people's comments to my entries that I'm NOT alone...well, it has been truly emotionally liberating for me and I've come to peace with many things in my life. I went from having a handful of visitors a day in the beginning to an average of 700-800, even peaking out at 1,782 one day! Blogging has opened up the world to me and I don't think I'll ever quit.

Since then it's expanded into different topics and rants. The hardest thing has been finding the line as to how much to talk about your own life and where to draw the line. That's why a plan is necessary so you know why you are blogging and what you're trying to say. I've met some wonderful bloggers whose blogs are on my must read list. It's an addictive bit of voyeurism. I also have to agree with some of the other posters. Some blogs are awful. People write with no rhyme or reason and seem to have no purpose. But that's the great thing. All you have to do is click the mouse button and you'll find something else to read. Thanks for the tips. These are all things that I've been thinking about myself. Now I have to draw a battle plan. As a aspiring novelist I started my blog to motivate myself in writing by posting my word count. Since then it’s expanded into different topics and rants.

Thanks! I especially like the themed series of blog posts. I was thinking of having a specific theme each month and trying to gear my posts toward that, but maybe theming particular series of posts is easier. Camy Great tips! Thanks!

So, I'm not doing it again and correcting my error. Apologies for the double–now triple–comment. I’m that new at this.

I like the idea of mixing up what I write about. Since this whole thing is free, I think people who want to stop blogging should have the freedom to do so. They have their reasons and they may not be able to share them. But that's just me. I get a little annoyed when one of my favorite TV shows go off the air, but MOVE ON! Something as good or better will fill the space. Great tips for a new blogger like myself. I like the idea of mixing up what I write about.
