I remember in high school how my girlfriend and I would mark the anniversary of all kinds of things….the months since our first kiss, first date, months we had been going steady, etc.. And yeah, I know anniversary’s are normally measured in years, but a year is a long time when you are young and in love.
Rest assured that I will NOT be marking such milestones here at LTG. At least not on a strictly monthly basis. Still, today marks one month in my journey as a blogger. I haven’t had a lot to say of significance perhaps, but I am confident I will find my voice soon–so hang in there! LTG was and is intended to document my adventures in Korea and I won’t be leaving until January 22. Geez, that’s only ten days away, and the closer it gets the louder that voice in my head is screaming, “What in the hell were you thinking?”. I always respond, “Shut up”. So anyway, I should have some unique things to write about once I arrive overseas, above and beyond those conversations I am having with myself.
This has been a great experience and I have already discovered some wonderful people and talented writers I would not have otherwise “met”. I am also looking forward to being an active participant in “The Wide Awakes”. You will be hearing from us!
Finally, the best part has been spilling my guts and having readers actually drop in and have a read. Thank you and please keep coming back. Feel free to leave comments and share your views, even if it is to disagree. I love a good debate, and I don’t yell nearly as much on here as I do in real life. 🙂
Speaking of which, I notice my comments worked overnight, but they appear to be down again this morning. I am working to get that resolved.
Thanks to all of you. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you and hearing what you think about these interesting times in which we live.
Congrats on doing the blog. I admire you for doing something like this. I’ve been looking at blogs for a while but this is my first comment. It has to be hard sometimes with coming up with a new entry that is interesting. If I were writing a blog, I would be worried about how much to reveal about myself.
Enjoy it. I wonder how much the blog is for the reader and how much it is for the reader
oops.. I meant to say how much is for the writer and how much is for the reader.
Is there any way to edit a comment ?
Dick, I think it depends. I would probably write this as a journal for posterity’s sake even without a reader. And of course, I know my friends and family will read me, but on the other hand, it is a great feeling when people you don’t know are also reading your words.
I think that also goes to the daily posting. Sometimes there is nothing there, but I always feel the obligation to try and find something of interest to post, just on the chance that someone drops in–don’t want to disappoint a potential regular reader! Luckily, it is a big Internet and all kinds of fuel to feed the posting fire.
Thanks for coming by and thanks especially for taking the time to comment.
I love it so far, and can’t wait to hear more once you move 😀
