Writing has been on my mind this week.\u00a0 I have had the idea for a while to start a blog.\u00a0 I even came up with a title and premise.\u00a0 I want to call it “Happy Sunday” and provide weekly updates on my spiritual journey each week.
\nSo I have this drive to do the blog but at the same time I have my doubts.\u00a0 Who would be interested?\u00a0 Will what I write make any sense to people?
\nThis week I decided to take some action toward writing.\u00a0 Maybe if I acknowledge that I am a novice at writing at least I can take some action in the direction of writing.\u00a0 I read some advice on creating a blog – rules you should know about plagarism, keeping it interesting, and getting readers.\u00a0 One guideline that I have been thinking about is “what is my purpose for doing the blog?\u00a0 That’s a bit tough as my reason is that I might teach or provide a service to others.\u00a0 I can’t help but feel that it is really what my ego really wants me to think.\u00a0 Considering my lessons of last week about ego, am I going to record my own life lessons so I can then tell others to see what I have learned or done and learn from me?\u00a0 Am I expecting more quick fixes of just read page\u00a0‘blah-blah’ of my blog and it will solve all your problems?
\nThe blog guidelines spoke of needing to follow other blogs and be active in making comments and refering people back my own blog.\u00a0 I didn’t feel like I wanted to make this investment.
\nSo what is the purpose of my blog?\u00a0 Is it enough to just write what I am interested to record for my own purposes my thoughts and the work on my journey.\u00a0 Then why bother posting it – just keep it as my own journal.\u00a0 Why am I compelled?\u00a0 Holy Spirit I am looking for guidance.
\nI know the answer will come but in the meantime I am going to write each Sunday.\u00a0 I’ll keep preparing.\u00a0 I have begun reading books on improving my writing abilities.\u00a0 I have thought about setting a launch date but without a clear purpose I am hesitant.
