I have a love/hate relationship with New Years resolutions. We've all done the 'going to eat healthier', 'going to exercise more' and such. The push is always on for the first couple of months of the new year, then life gets in the way, our good intentions go to the sidelines and ultimately you feel like a failure. So I broke my own rule with a resolution for my photography interest. So far I'm sticking with it for my 'Photo a Day Challenge'. Its progressing well and I hope at the end of the year I can say 'I did it'. However, with the photographs I get feedback or positive reinforcement. People respond to my postings, saying they like it or asking where it was taken, so I have a built in support system.
Writing in this blog is another story. However, I do them for very different reasons. Photography is a passion while my writings are often passionate. To me that makes them apples and oranges but they're both great to eat. With my photographs, I want the world to see them. With my writings, they are more for me. I think the good bloggers are consistent and build a readers audience. One of my many excuses for why I don't promote my blog is that I'm not an english major. I know there are many grammatical errors but I write more from the heart and often in a fury trying to get the words onto print. I don't know if anybody will care what I write but once again I predominately write for my own release, rant, whatever you want to call it.
I recently suggested to someone near and dear to my heart to use a blog to express their feelings they were keeping pent up inside them. I'm great at giving advice........ Maybe someday I'll publish them for the world to read, then again maybe not!
