It can be to pass on info without me emailing groups of people, or for passing on news to the family without phoning everyone, or jotting down things that inspire me and which I want to record. In fact, I have realised that I have almost stopped journalling since I started blogging although I certainly don't blog what I used to journal, if you know what I mean. And it can also serve as Mission. I am constantly amazed at the comments I get from people all over the world. And good to find you Christine in the blogging community!<BR/>Ruthie RainbowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-1136284078904984072006-01-03T10:27:00.000+00:002006-01-03T10:27:00.000+00:00I've have also heard the "narcissistic" complaint ...I've have also heard the "narcissistic" complaint made against blogging. I suppose there may be something in it since whenever anyone self-publishes, there must be at least a bit of ego in there. However, there are class blogs like those John Johnston where it is not so much "self-publishing" so are they purely "narcissistic"? <BR/><BR/>I, like you, find bloging helps me organise what I think. I suppose I could write it down without posting it in a blog, but the two way communication and the extended conversations across multiple blogs make blogging my thoughts much more useful. So there may be some narcissisim in there - but the blogging community can be very good at bringing you back down with a bump if you get too full of yourself.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08614417017549146281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19191002.post-1136277317441875682006-01-03T08:35:00.000+00:002006-01-03T08:35:00.000+00:00In the past I used to do quite a bit of writing so...In the past I used to do quite a bit of writing some poetry, none of which deserves to be preserved (Don't most people write poetry in their youth?); some writing of the two kinds you mention. Even a few years ago I usedto write pieces for the Yahoo clubs I'm in to start a discussion.<BR/>But now I finf that I need the stimulus of what someone else has said to get me going. So I wouldn't be much good with a blog of my own. But I'm glad you have one to which I can contribute when I'm moved by something you have said.<BR/>Edgar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
