I have considered continuing this blog after the course is complete, but I guess I have mixed feelings about it. I love writing and I especially love to write creatively, however, I'm not sure if a public journal is what is right for me. I have many journals and there is a lot of comfort in knowing that it is for my viewing only. Yet, the only way I would continue to blog would be to write things that I know others could see at anytime. So, this would probably relate to poetry or something humorous that I could get other people to relate. I recently saw the movie "Julie and Julia" and I thought it was a terrific movie (based on reality) with a great concept. This woman Julie blogs her way through Julia Child's first real cookbook that was based on teaching Americans the art of French cooking. Julie cooked every recipe in the book in 365 days and by the time she was finished her blog was extremely popular, and then finally she was offered a book deal on the whole experience. I really enjoyed the movie, but I haven't read the book. So, all in all, the only way I would continue blogging is if I knew that I was doing something special with it that would touch the lives of others.

Hi Renee,
ReplyDeleteSomething about touching the lives of others is that one may never really know when and how what they say makes a meaningful difference to others. Therefore, I urge you to continue speaking creatively on your blog. Use it for the life experiences and creativity you want to share with others. Have faith in yourself and others.
