Personal Inquiry: Why don't I like to blog?

For me, blogging is like opening a diary to the world. Most people don't go around offering to others their most private, intimate thoughts, feelings, embarrassing actions, recounts of bad judgement and poor decision making...everyone has a messy life...it's life, what else would it be?So, I liken blogging to letting all the mental health patients out of an institution and watching them dance around un-medicated, unsupervised and, of course, naked!

Maybe that's why writing is such a release. We fold our characters up in blankets woven together with our heartache and tears. We capture the essence of our disillusioned youth and retired dreams in the souls of men and women who breathe only when a reader touches them in his thoughts. Each new direction the story takes, one hears the echoing footsteps of the author' s own walk, while both the writer and reader remain safely tucked away in the genre of 'fiction'.
