Ideagirl’s Blog Explained

I blog because I have lots of things going on in my head all day long. I get easily excited about new ideas and it makes me want to try them out right away. When the inevitable new idea sneaks in - -I have to go and find out everything about it that I can…blogging seemed like the right venue to capture some of that info - because, frankly, many of my ideas and research and interest have been lost or stomped on by the new stuff…and sometimes I want to get back to the older stuff that my brain was psyched about at the time.

Also important — my mother lives pretty far away from me and is very busy. In part, I keep the blog so that she and I feel more connected…and that’s been a good thing.

Since I’ve started — I’ve also become addicted to posting and posting frequently. A thought occurs…fingers type. It helps me be more grounded. It also distracts me sometimes from the things I need to be doing — but it’s a good trade off I think — I do the yucky stuff — my blogging is my reward. Everyone wins! <sound of cheering>

I’m addicted to other blogs. I love seeing what others are thinking…doing…writing about…complaining about..making…experimenting with…struggling with…laughing about. It makes me feel more interested in my surroundings in some weird way.

It’s an amazing creative outlet. I do MORE because I blog. I want to make things…to talk about them….to get and give feedback…to find others who are inspired too.

Blogging is great fun — and I think others pick up on it when you are excited about something…

And…final confession. I LOVE comments. Don’t you? I’ve met some AMAZING women so far — and I’m looking forward to more. Not that I have anything particularly interesting to say — so it’s even more incredible that someone would even give me 30 seconds of their day…I’m just in awe of that.

Here’s the Cliff Note Version:

Blogging good. Like blogging. Make friends.
