Why Blog...

Is it important...?
Does anybody care what I post about...?
****
Iam pretty sure you have asked yourself this question...
I know I have.
***
We spend out time...
 posting, sharing our life story, news and events that take place...
and
our ups and downs.
***
We 
share our creativity...
post a DIY
(so others can enjoy creating the craft as well)
***
We become photographers
(without even knowing it)
 edit photos...
and
if we are brave enough...
download videos!
***
We 
share our excitement...
of 
opening an online shop
or
an e-course
we have created!
(with the thought that, we are now in business 
and have become productive artist)
very exciting indeed!!
***
We
read comments
reply back
and
in return...
we follow others that do just the same...
leave our comments
and 
build relationships along the way!
***
That is why...
to build relationships!

That is the amazing thing about the internet.
We can communicate with others
from around the world.
Who share the same interests...
have the same passion...
and 
want to be included in our daily activities.
Whether it is...
through our posts...
the pictures we take...
or
the videos you create.
***
Just be yourself.
That is what your readers want the most from you!

    So true. And I think blogging - like most other vulnerable forms of artistic expression - comes with that cycle of wondering WHY exactly am I doing this.
    and your right. the relationships that are built are amazing.

    Hi April...great post!! I ask myself all the time why do I post my art?...I don't really consider that I'm a true blogger. I enjoy it and I get satisfaction out of seeing how I am growing as an artist.

    Being away from my blog for a week had me asking that question, and coming to the same conclusion...I enjoy blogging for the relationships I have been able to develop! I love finding all these people with art and lives and hearts to share!

    Awesome, awesome post! I've been very blessed to have made some wonderful friends online who have stepped out of blogland to become "real" friends! Blogging has challenged me and has helped me to become a better artist and person. It's opened doors that I couldn't have imagined when I first started! Hugs, Terri
