How long will I blog?

06 Oct Comms 1 comment

Don’t know! But I liked [Maggi Dawn's view](http://maggidawn.typepad.com/maggidawn/2007/10/writers-readers.html) on the relationship between writers, readers, conversations and blogs. She reported:
> I’ve read a bit lately that some Emerging Church bloggers (especially of the persuasion) have become disillusioned with blogging on the basis that it is not truly conversational. I am kind of surprised to read this in a way, because I never thought it was. Did you, honestly?

and then concluded that
> If you’re a blogger because you are a writer, you’ll write anyway.

I wouldn’t have said I was a writer, but I think this blog will be more about my need for expression than my need to be read. But we’ll see!

    I’ve now read the comments on her post, and some were useful too. Particularly Andrew saying:

    And I very rarely get comments on my blog. But I get quite a few emails that mention something I have posted there; and conversations on the phone; and - and I’m still always suprised by this - lots of face-to-face conversations as a result of things I blog.

    and tlr’s comment:

    A blog works a bit like a digital scrapbook doesn’t it? A bit like having another sort of notebook, only tidier (slightly)and a bit more thought out (occasionally) but just as random (definitely).

    Which is bang on. And inspired me to re-christen this blog. Along with obligatory random colons. How could I re:frain?!
