How can I know if blogging is the right thing for me to do? - Christian - 02-14-2013 12:53 PM
I have been trying to decide if I want to start a blog or not. I am a good writer, I have an interest in journalism as a career, I enjoy most all types of writing and I feel like blogging would be a good way for me to work on writing to an audience, incorporating writing into my daily/weekly schedule and learning to keep a deadline. However, I am not interested in the equivalent of a public diary (I can use facebook for that). I am not really sure what I am looking for as an answer, just...I guess any response is another opinnion to consider. Thank you.

Sounds good. For you if you are looking at Journalism in any career sense. People can give you feedback. But you don't know what to write about?

A blog would not hurt to have in your case. This is a good way to get your work and name out there.

If you're interested in writing blogging is the best begginer method. Unlike facebook it gives the full credits for what you've wrote. I'm a blogger and I love helping people. Trust me its the best way to be an author.

Suck it & see.
In other words try it. See how you get on. See if you can think of enough stuff to write about, & if you can write in an interesting enough way to get some followers. And see if you look forward to writing your next entry, or if it gets to feel like a chore.

blogs are no longer just "public diaries", but rather, a way to share ideas and thoughts/opinions with others.
whether it be your take on the latest news blip, or your ever expanding music collection, or even just what books you've been reading, you can share your opinions on just about anything.
you might even share interesting stories from your daily life, if one pops up. the nice thing about blogs is that you can put in them anything you think that people might find interesting!
