I Need A Blog Like I Need A Hole In The Head!

I need a blog like I need a hole in the head.  As long as that hole is a mouth we will be ok.  Sure my blog may not be oxygen or food but it is still important to my well being and therefore important.

I want to write.  I need to write.  My whole website is taking far too much time… as a hobby, but just enough as a business.  And a business is what I am running.  This discipline of writing every day is starting to take hold and become a habit.  The online friends that I am making are resources that give me support and inspiration.  Most people here in Blogistan will give that support freely and quickly, as long as there is reciprocation somewhere along the line.

There is a list of people that I now think of as friends on this whole internet thing.  I like to read what they have to say, I like to interact with them and I hope they like to read what I have to say and not just think I am an annoying little insect that can just be brushed aside.  I will not be brushed aside!  I will come over to your house and….  wait that was a dream.

I am finally starting to figure out my life and my blog.  It is not finished, there are always little tweaks to the site or things to add or make more ascetically pleasing.  There are new and exciting things to read and get involved in.  There is lots of writing to be done.  There are stories to format and tweak into e-books that will start making me money.  There are newsletters to format even though there are no subscribers (sign up here or I will come over to your…:))

This post is short, there will be longer ones.  Most of them lately have been longer.  And longer fiction on Saturday.  And e-books that are not just reprints of blog posts but actually thought out, well formatted pieces that people will actually read and not stick in an obscure downloads folder on their computer.

I need a blog like I need a hole in the head.  A funny expression, but now it feels like I need my blog or there is a hole somewhere in the core of me.

Until Later Loyal Citizens of Blogistan,

I am a kid in the Blogistan Candy Shoppe

You can get on the internet just about anywhere now.  You can read blogs and write blogs and comment.  It is so cool it’s not even funny.  There is so much information out there that it can be overwhelming and daunting.

I feel like a kid in the candy shoppe when I look around and try to figure out what it is that I want to read, watch, listen to, or write.  There are so many possibilities.  Is it podcasts?  Is it the latest TV show? Is it fiction? Is it technical? or is it about real people doing real things.  When  it comes down to it, it is all about us, the subjects of Blogistan doing real things and boosting each other up.

So I have a question for all of you out there in Blogistan (ruled by the Evil Prince Dave Doolin).

What is it you like to reach for in the Candy Shoppe?  What do you go for first in a world filled with wonderful things?

And a Second only slightly less important question: What would you like to see more of on this site?  I’ll tell you now, video is probably not going to happen.  I am seriously considering audio though.  How do transcripts of posts sound? Or would each recording need to be original?

Please let me know what you all think out there.  The community must be served.

Thanks in advance and with flourishing bows,

Your humble vassal,

Justin
