It’s been a long time coming.
I’m a writer. Blogging is all about writing. Expressing ideas on a very public platform. I tell my writing students they should be blogging. So why don’t I practise what I preach? Why have I resisted for so long?
One reason I give myself is that I am not very good with technology.
Another that I worry I might get addicted to blogging. Or that I won’t be able to keep it up.
Or that no-one will read it anyway. Oh well......
I’ve been a writer for more than 40 years but I still struggle to write. When I teach and advise other writers I tell them how important it is to write every day. Yet I don’t. The older I get, the harder it gets. A daily, or at least regular, writing habit has eluded me for a long time. Maybe blogging will get me into that habit. An ugly word, blogging. Inelegant. Diary or journal has a nicer ring to it. Or maybe wordstream......
