January, the month of new beginnings. We're getting a new President, new Senators, new Congressmen, I've got a new job. But I'm not starting any new projects. Instead I'm moving on to new phases in old projects. Still, that's progress.
I've been reading a lot about blogging lately. Morgan Mandel's blog carries posts about it. Kaye Barley at Meanderings and Muses talks a little about her adventures getting started with her blog. I maintain 3 blogs in addition to this one, and I've been asked by Kaye to guest on hers in March. So, what use is blogging?
Totally aside from the social networking aspect, blogs are a great way to get in some 'practice' writing. All the skills you use in regular writing should be used when you blog -- even if you're just writing about the cute guy in Math and what he said when he finally talked to you after class. Blogs also get your writing some exposure. Write something profound or entertaining, and you'll develop a following!
I'm sure you have opinions. That, and an interest in writing, plus signing up someplace like this are all it takes to get started with an online blog. If you haven't done it yet, give it a shot.
Drop a comment on other things you do to develop your writing, or what kind of blog you've started.
