Postcards from Hell’s Kitchen: Why Do YOU Blog?

My dear mad devil is asking why people blog – why not head on over and answer?

Here was my comment:

I blog for multiple reasons, and perhaps that’s why mine is a bit eclectic. I blog to record questions and comments about my ExJWS information, hoping that some of these and my responses to them might be read by people who are seeking such information. I blog on political matters (although it may be somewhat dangerous to do so as time goes on) because I am truly saddened and furious about the situation in the USA – a combined emotion I haven’t experienced before – and I feel the need to document those things I feel, and events/actions on the net so that I will at least have some sort of personal history – again, others may occasionally find value. Then, just the odd rumination, poem, observation – about my son, life, career, philosophy, and so on – that’s for fun. I have found that the blog is a kind of easy discipline to get me geared up and ready for my more substantial offline writing. There is a kind of salve to loneliness in it perhaps, like a journal – or a prayer.
