I do blog, but that's more to keep my mother up-to-date on the family than anything, tho like the walking man, it's also my soap box for the occasional rant about what's going on in the world. I have a LiveJournal account where I am most active online and within a group of like minded individuals.<br /><br />Do what is most comfortable for you. Also there was a post at genreality.net by Carrie Vaughn on this very thing that you might find interesting as well.Jen FitzGeraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746163660525324335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238174599083558093.post-1223439398289364922011-02-25T14:10:01.436-06:002011-02-25T14:10:01.436-06:00All the different digital missives create communit...All the different digital missives create community, some much smaller and some much bigger.

I'm blogging myself less and am also finding certain things frustrating about the process. having to type in the same captcha phrase twice islikely to send me into apoleptics. But over all I've decided to push ahead with it and keep it going.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238174599083558093.post-18706409407692159692011-02-24T09:04:17.432-06:002011-02-24T09:04:17.432-06:00Once again I am smacked in the face with the knowl...Once again I am smacked in the face with the knowledge we are indeed sisters under the skin. I have been fighting this same blog battle for a while yet (and struggling and whining) and take great joy in how you lay it out here. I swear to the Universe that there will be some point we are in the same room together so I can buy you the biggest drink in the world.Pamela Caynehttp://pamelacayne.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8238174599083558093.post-76239452258998052842011-02-24T06:18:01.214-06:002011-02-24T06:18:01.214-06:00Laura,

I have a facebook page I look at once a week and though I can force myself to write in under 140 characters I have never twitted.<br /><br />I write on my blog what I write best, poetry and sometimes social commentary. I Started after being given the same advice you were. I usually post every day but I have also erased everything off mine 5 times since 2005.<br /><br />I can only answer your two questions one way...I don't care why others do it, I do it because I have time to kill and am not going to become voiceless again.<br /><br />I keep growing my blogroll when I find a blog of note and want to read that persons thoughts on the world around them. <br /><br />Just do what you will, no one can offer you your answer other than yourself.<br /><br />Be Wellthe walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.com
