Do you think it's possible to go shy on a blog? Maybe I just don't want to fear clicking on the page and seeing a string of complaints about what I've written (although that happens very rarely!). Or maybe I've just got so used to keeping things secret that it's hard for me to write about anything on here anymore.
I think it's probably a mixture of all three. I've refrained from posting anything too personal, even going so far as to not post any pictures of people in my previous post. Why? I don't know. I guess sometimes a neruotic blogger can get a bit shy and suddenly realise there's actual real life people reading what's written here. It's hard to sit and write mindless drivel (as I usually do oh so well ;D) when you are aware of people reading it because then come the comments and the judging. And if you're not in the mood to hear that crap then you just crawl into your own little shell and hide away. In the sense of a blog my shell has been to just stop opening the Dashboard and so writing nothing.
I think I'm coming out the other side now. I mean, seriously, what do I care if some person I don't know - or do know for that matter - doesn't agree with something I write here? You can't please everyone all the time, so I'm told. I am very, very happy in my life right now. I am excited about the coming year. I should really share some of that excitement or else I might burst ;)
I hear it's that time of the year again where people try and write so many words in a month - is that right? I've never taken part. I'm not one to be told when, how often or what to write - I am a stubborn writer ;) But in the spirit of that thing I will say that I will write more regularly here. Now that I've completed the recent Soul Mates novel I really need somewhere to write every day before I begin work on the next book.
So to unlease the pent up words within I will write here more often.
