Blogaholics

I have a number of blogs – too many in fact. I began writing 'my thoughts' to the net about 4 years ago. The it was just an on-line diary (the idea was that I would 'catalogue my thoughts and experiences' as future fodder for my writing and yes, I know, so many of us have had the same idea …..), but I soon found 'blogging' …. and I was hooked. I was logging in to post every day; racking my brains for something different to say in each blog; checking my comments and feeling obliged to respond; commenting on other's blogs so that they would feel obliged to visit mine ….. you know the score.

Today I am still a blogging addict and, nomatter how hard I try, I can't get away from the need to blog. This blog was actually an attempt to find somewhere to post 'things I really wanted to say', rather than post for an audience (and thus edit my thoughts in line with what I presumed to be their aspirations). And I hope I can make this stick.

Coincidentally, today I came across an article posted back in September last year. It's a satire on 'compulsive blogging', but I recognise so much of the character's angst that, although it made me laugh, it also made cringe.

I reckon quite a few people here will feel the same way as I did when they read this.
