Now, anyone who knows me knows
I used to quite strongly resent the idea of blogging. The idea, that anyone anywhere
could be writing a blog felt to me like the written version of reality TV. No
one is there to monitor the quality of the posts, correct the spelling or look
at the standards of the contents in any way. Suddenly everyone was a writer.
Took me a few years to understand what that possibility might
actually mean. My goal is very simple. I am going to try and speak to people.
Not just friends, everyone. So instead of standing at the Speaker’s Corner in
Hyde Park, I am going to transfer my nocturnal notes to blog posts.
Let this be my first piece of writing to you all. We will
see what comes out of this, won’t we?
With love,
Henna
Good for you! Quality control is just one authority's idea of what someone else should be writing about, which makes blogging as far away from reality TV as I can imagine, really. Looking forward to more posts!
ReplyDeleteYou are bang on Joe! Exactly that realisation (along with my on-going struggle with how to use Facebook, as you're aware of) led me to the decision of starting a blog. Thanks for the support!
