First thoughts

What should one write in his very first blog?
Truth or made up stories.

Truth is easy to write, it is something you know for sure; but is it something you are ready to share?
Is it something your readers are eager to know about?

Perhaps your life is too average to be chronicled in a public journal.
Perhaps it is too risky to blatantly bare your soul in front of total strangers.

But isn't that the point of writing a journal- to reveal all your secret desires, anger, fear, love, hate and everything else you cannot say aloud. Photo Courtesy nettaphoto

So are blogs journals? But aren't journals supposed to be hidden and meant for private viewing only?
So what do you we compare blogs with?

Perhaps they are just a web book full of random notes. A modern way of broadcasting, in which every blogger is given a chance to air his views. What views he chooses to blog depends upon his concept of personal zone. A shy person might take pains to hide his thoughts or at least his real persona behind euphemisms while an extrovert may bask in the new found way of interacting and letting his steam out.

So where am I going with this taradiddle? Nowhere specific. I am just trying to organize my first thoughts about blogging in order to decide the course my blog is to take hence forth.

I guess I'll take a safe course and pursue those trains of thoughts that keep popping into my silly brain from time to time.
