WHY YOU SHOULD BLOG
If you do not blog (or if you are a newbie budding blogger) there is one movie you must see – Julie and Julia.
The story is about a woman who is thoroughly bored with life and is on the verge of depression.
She hates her job at a call-centre.
Her married life is stagnating.
She is depressed as she feels that her life has become static – and there is nothing to look forward to in her life.
Her husband introduces her to blogging and motivates her to start a blog.
He tells her to start blogging about anything she likes.
After considering various options – she picks up a cookbook The Art of French Cooking – and she decides to cook one recipe everyday and then blog about her culinary experience cooking that dish.
Gradually – she has many readers and her blog becomes popular.
In fact – one day when she does not post a blog – her angry fans ask her why she has not posted on that day – and this inspires her to make a commitment to herself and to her readers to be regular in posting a blog.
Now – she has something to look forward to everyday – to cook a recipe and then write and post a blog about her culinary experience every day.
She starts feeling motivated and happy as her blog draws lots of readers, elicits numerous comments and evokes tremendous response, makes her famous, and finally culminates in her becoming a published author.
Her days of depression are a long way off – a forgotten thing of the past.
That is the beauty of blogging.
Blogging gives you something to look forward to – yes – something to look forward to do every day.
Once you start enjoying blogging – you will not sleep until you have posted something on your blog.
Blogging will make you happy – as there is a saying:
“The key to happiness is to have something to look forward to...”
And – do remember that – your blog is your literary and intellectual legacy in cyberspace – for posterity.
You may go away from this world – but your blog will remain forever.
