It seems blogs are all those things. People want, and expect, different things.

Mine is just a notebook, true and not particularly interesting. Like you, if I thought of it as "writing" I wouldn't do it.

As for writing, I want to, I don't. I read and I wonder. Perhaps it's a way of looking? Blank pages are inhibiting, perhaps it's best to write anything, just to have started, even if it is completely re-done later. I wish you a good start.

hiya! i've been meaning to write for ages as my carlin peas are over 6 foot tall and every time i look at them i think of you (not that you are 6 feet tall - although you might be i suppose - but because you sent me the seeds!)

this is a really interesting post. you have tantalised me with your drip of information. i am a very nosy person so i will now be curious until you tell us more!

my blog is 100% things that have happened to us. because i write it in jokey form i have gaps when i am too depressed to write it - sometimes i can't find a funny slant on events. i also have an introspective blog where i write about the past and what makes my head tick. and i write stories too, based on life.

i think the idea of talent in writing is looking at it the wrong way. what blogging has taught us if nothing else is that everyone has a voice and somewhere there is someone who will gain something from listening to it. in the past the only way to have your voice heard was the printed word which meant that you had to have a voice that a lot of people wanted to hear. now those voices that are more rare also have an audience.

i'll stop now as this is turning into a novel. by the way the word verification thingy is 'noedges' - cool eh?

What an interesting question, how truthful does one need to be on a blog?

It's a question worthy of in depth debate.

As for me, my blog is fully truthful, and boring : )

And as for wanting to be a writer - go for it!!
