How I became a blog junkie
I am still a relative newcomer to the blogoverse, having read my first blog around November 2005. I saw an article about Stephanie Klein (Greek Tragedy) in the NY Times (online) and decided to investigate. I read her for about a week before I started looking at the comments. Another week or two and I linked back to some of the commenters and before I knew it, I was sucked into a whole vicarious world of other peoples thoughts and lives.
What I found amusing a couple of days ago as I was going through the list of roughly 50 blogs I have on my list of favorites, I realized that I never read the one that started it anymore.
To continue, after a month or so I decided to comment on someone's entry but to do so I need a blog of my own so I signed up never planning to make any entries.
After a period of time, I got to thinking about a memory that has always haunted me so I decided to put it on the blog, just to get it written down somewhere.
Low and behold, I got a comment - whoa - very cool. Then another with a question about a followup on the first entry. So I had to write another one. Then figure out how to get a picture posted. Now I am up to my 4th entry with no idea why I am doing this.

You don't need a reason. Or an audience. Or a purpose. Just see what comes out and see what happens. You may surprise yourself.
Well so far that is what is happening. The first entry was for myself, I think that will be my focus.
It's so easy to become addicted!
i'm glad you started blogging.
Hey mon...
Ditto what Scott said.
