Anonimity
I love blogging and have been doing so for the past 5 years now. But for some reason I like to keep my anonimity.
Although I blog about my daughter and how I dote on her...which is normally fine to be publicly announced...but I also blog about my innermost feelings...some of which I refuse to let everyone I know understand about me. I hate to be convicted and judged by people I hardly know. I do not aim for these people to understand why I feel a certain way...or why do I do certain things. These people either knew me from work or from school but never really knew me on a personal level. I may have established a reputation, good or bad in their eyes. For now, I would like to keep it that way and not put myself in the line. I'd rather be a character in a reader's head who doesn't know if I do exist or if I made my character up. Anonimity erases any initial perception and lets you start from scratch...people are also more forgiving and understanding...thus no judgements...and a lot more freedom to speak my mind.
I write for my own personal pleasure...like nobody's reading. And indeed nobody is...
