Why I Blog


Why I blog? Why I write? These are questions I have to answer many people when I tell them I blog. 

Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved to write. I have a memory of me writing a story with my dad's typewriter (90's) and being so nervous and excited about the plot, that I couldn't sleep. 

My mom asked me (when I was suppose to sleep): "Why are you not sleeping?"

My answer was cute and funny for someone who had just learned to write: "I can't sleep because I don't know what's going to happen next."

My silly little head has always been filled with stories. 
I dream about writing them with my "modern typewriter" aka iMac and one day seeing them on a bookstore shelves. 

Writing is not only a dream. I truly believe that words on pages (or on a computer screen) can make a difference: words can touch you, heal you, make you think and change you.

Words are powerful. 

I have always believed that one person can make a difference. Maybe writing is my way to change someone or something. Or one of my ways.

Why I blog?

Because there's something amazing in knowing that someone (if even just one) is reading my thoughts. I love that my readers are mostly people who I would not meet in any other way. People from all over the world! 

My blog is a place that is only mine. I get to create it just the way I want to. Sounds selfish, and it is :) But for a creative person blogs can bring huge satisfaction. 

I want my blog to be serious, funny, pretty, easy, hard... 

Why do you blog?
