I have thought about this for a while - this whole blogging thing. I think who could possibly be interested in my life – but then I think of all the blogs that I read and think that are normal. Not earth shatteringly exciting – just normal. Like mine.
I’m told I’m weird (I prefer to call myself special really and that everyone else is weird, I am the normal one). I talk to myself (a lot, albeit in my head) and am a bit of a loner really (but happily cohabiting with the Mr C so can’t be thatweird!) – but maybe putting things down on paper in a blog is more normal than wittering on to myself. I don’t know time will tell!
Not wanting to give too much away at this stage – but as the title suggests I am an expat living in Warsaw. Not content with that – I also have a home in France and in the UK – and have difficulties in deciding where exactly is home at any given point (a whole blog on that issue!).
So this is my first blog – I guess I just press publish…..
Good luck with the blog!
Welcome to the world of blogging!
Why do we do it? Because it allows us to write down thoughts, tell something about our feelings without having to give up our anonymity… Or that is the idea.
That was my aim too, until I had the great idea of talking about the fact that I’m setting up a commercial website, and mentioned the address. Now, where before I could happily rant away about unruly family members, past events in my life, I have had to remove those posts. You see, when anyone looks for my commercial site, the search engine comes up with my BLOG!!!!(not a hint of my web shop though… aaah, don’t you just love it?)
So, now that my little personal corner has been invaded, I know for certain why we do it… It’s a way to have a little bit of public personal space, with the mask on…
And of course, let’s not forget that most of us bloggers are writers at heart, some better than others. Some very successful (think of Petite!), some just obscure (me).
I hope this brings you the things you’d like to find. Just don’t be surprised if you find more than you were looking for, the ne can have surprising effects!
