Birth of the Blog

I began writing in a journal again late last year but I always got so frustrated with writing all the time and I had issues about keeping up with it. It wasn’t the fact that I don’t like to write, in fact I love to write, it is just that I type faster thank I can hand write the same thing and I am horrible at spelling so I find it frustrating to write by hand. So originally this was supposed to be a diary but then due to my hand writing frustration it turned into an online blog. Because blog’s are so public I have a few concerns.

1. The more people that read a blog the more you have to censor. Originally I thought to keep this to myself, no one would have to know, but that is not realistic, in some way someone would find it and then crap could hit the fan if I was not writing with a bit of censure.

2. I want to keep this for life, my husband had concerns with our names being used since he is in the entertainment field he did not want his name coming on my blog about his personal life when people googled him. This led me to think about future jobs I may want to get, future children who we will hopefully have who may not want their high school classmates to read about what their mother said about them learning how to pottie on the big chair, and friends and family who may want to remain anonymous due to their careers or their views on privacy. This is what led me to using code names for everyone on the site.

3. I decided to only write things about other people that I have already said to them OR that I would say to them with a room of people listening. This was the only way I could think not to cause any issues with this blog. In a perfect world I would write everything and anything, but certain thoughts should never go down on paper.

I like the idea of a blog and I am hoping to keep it up as the years go on, I just hope that it does not cause me any problems with my life.
