Sell real estate and stop wasting time.
Leave writing to people who have something to say.
People don't care what you are thinking and surely won't take time from their busy day to read your simple thoughts.
That was me about 6 months ago.
Not a blogger. Not a writer.
But things change.
Early on the morning of November 26, 2010 I was laying in bed with an idea bouncing around my head. I wanted to get it OUT and my first thought was to blog about it. I'd never done this before, but thought it would be fun. An agent had mentioned ActiveRain so I figured that is a good place to try.
My first attempt at blogging ("I Hate You, Therefore I Will Read You") became a Featured Blog and was the tops on that day's Daily Drop email! (at the time I had no idea what any of that meant... I just couldn't believe that so many people were responding to my little blog!)
It absolutly was NOT a goal to be ready by thousands people and have such great comments! I just wanted to toss a stone in the water and see what the ripples looked like.
Am I a blogger now? Sure, why not?
Am I great at it?... no, but that's not the point. I'm finding it a great outlet to get my thoughts out of my head and see what other people have to say about them. It's amazing how a little seed of a thought can grow into such an interesting blog, IF YOU LET GIVE IT THE CHANCE!
I wonder how many people reading this right now are thinking like I did a few months ago? I wonder if this could inspire someone to write their first blog and take that leap? Do you have the guts?
Let me thank this community for inspiring me to keep writing, just to see what you're thinking. Thanks for giving me a place to think, react and engage. It's been fun getting to know so many of you, away from this website!
So are YOU a blogger? A lurker? A creator? Stop wondering and just go do it.
