The Daydreamer Challenge Day 5 – Why Blog?

Today’s challenge…here…!

So, why do I blog? I think I’ve touched on this a few times when answering questions on award tags, but essentially, I blog because I enjoy it!

A short 4 months ago a friend of mine started a blog, as a way to air her views about people in her life, and it was a way to vent her views and frustrations. I read the first post and was so impressed, I went to like it, and as it was on WordPress, I needed to log in, or sign up. Well, that was like a red rag to a bull for me! Sign up? Yes please! then there was the option to start a blog of my own… Why not I thought! But what was I going to blog about?

Ever since I was young, I have liked to write, and this seemed like a way to get back into it, and on the way see whether there was anything that I wrote that was actually read and appreciated by others! I have written stories, and started what I would like to be proper books in the past but never been able to finish them. Plus I generally talk too much, and this was a way to control my verbal diarrhoea! I could spout out via my keyboard, and if someone wanted to read, they could, or else just scroll on!

Slowly I ventured through test posts, to a bit of fiction, poetry, memories, recipes, photos, my thoughts and opinions, day to day posts about my family and obviously Sonu Singh, the cat! Slowly things picked up and I got such wonderful feedback from those that had started to follow me, and it has made me feel like hey, I actually can write, and what I write does appeal to someone out there!

Back to some of my favourite posts… that’s a hard one, as I have written rather a lot!

There are so many that I enjoyed writing, but these are a flavour of me, I guess!

What do I want to achieve from blogging?

I don’t think that there is anything I really wish to achieve, other than continue to develop my love of words… And if somewhere within that experience, someone out there feels I might have a talent, they can encourage me, and push me to do what I would love and that is to write full time! Other than that, if I entertain you, I am happy!

A question for my fellow bloggers…
