It is late or should that be early and I should be in bed. I have been catching up with the 'Blogs of Note' on Blogger, which I have neglected over the past couple of weeks. Blogger publishes three Blogs of Note a day and I have to say most of them are what I call 'Magazine Blogs'. Beautifully photographed, able to get their point across but literary...nope! I would not describe my Blog as literary either as it is too personal and Blogger readers would perhaps not understand it's content unless they started at the beginning. An heroic task to ask of anyone.
The thing is, despite my humble little Blog, I yearn to make The Blog of Note....Imagine 15,000 or more hits a day. I Blog online because it does me good and I cannot write with a pen for more than a few words. I would be lying if I said I wasn't bothered about the three 'chosen ones' per day. I want it...sooo, bad. Ain't going to happen. Doesn't stop me striving though!
I was really pleased with my last Blog and went off to bed quite happy. I woke up the next morning, re-read it and decided that I sounded like Enid-Bloody-Blyton! Yuck!! I think the only saving grace on my Blog at the moment is the flipping side bars. Oh and most of them are not my words.
I was talking to an old friend tonight (he is only old in the spirit of friendship and very young at heart) and has recently returned from a tour of India with Breathe, a Pink Floyd tribute band. We were talking about his trip and whilst he was trying to explain what a blast it was, I could not quite grasp that. I could not see (in words) what a shining moment in time it was.
He has a secret weapon and has created a Video Blog. He said that writing a Blog was different as I could edit and perfect it. His Video Blog is snatched moments on tour with little or no editing. I am looking forward to seeing it on FB and will post links to you all.
What he does not realise is the amount of angst (even with the sanitised Donut Child) that go into writing a Blog. I have previously written in suede bound journals. Creamy paper and no scribbles. Every word, thoughtful and honest and PRIVATE. It is so much easier when you can write with integrity, under your own steam. I guess I could have kept this as a 'Locked Blog' and carried on writing in that way. However, I am trying to learn a discipline and only the fire of sharing will help me with that.
Wish Me Luck
