I did write in chat, but have decided that this is the best place for my questions. So I apologise to anyone who has seen my original thread from yesterday.
Im a bit worried Im doing something silly really.
A long long time ago I would dip in and out of keeping a diary. This would help me do various things. Keep note of what has happened, make decisions, let out any frustrations and see things from a different perspective. Back then I was single and so it was easy, but now I am married with DCs I dont really want to be writing it all down in a notebook. Id rather keep it hidden from those I know so Im thinking blogging might be the way.
The only thing is from having a (admittedly) quick look around other blogs my blog is no where near as good as others Ive seen as its simply just a diary. Im not there to give advice, to share my life story and I very much doubt anyone would want to read it. I dont want to make money out of it (Ive never been any good at creative writing anyway). I just want a place to type out my thoughts (after all typing is so much easier for me than putting pen to paper). If people follow, fine fair enough, if no-one does then thats fine too.
Is a blog the right thing or is there something else I should be doing? I certainly wont be telling anyone in RL I have a blog. I will share my thoughts and feelings, but wont name names (only first initials or DH, DD etc) but everything is the truth and will just be an over spillage from my thoughts. Obviously there is a chance that someone I know will find my blog and work out its me, but how likely is that really? Only a handful of people will know for certain its me as Im a fairly secretive person anyway and most people only know the basics (such as children etc)
So are blogs really just for those who are good at writing creatively or can they just be a form of diary like mine is? Im just worried Im doing it wrong (not that anyone will care I suppose)
