I'm not really a "writer", more of a picture person. So far I've enjoyed posting pictures much more than actually writing. Blogs seem to me to be an online diary. I never stuck with my diary. In my pre-teen days, I bought multiple ones in the hopes of becoming a converted diary writer. Most entries started out saying I was going to write every day from now on.
But, I never did. And eventually got rid of the book until I bought a new one to try again.
I think I never got that into it because I've never been much of a writer. It doesn't come naturally to me, and diaries seem very narcissistic or like a big book of notes to myself that I will never need to read again. Full of overly dramatic stories about my birds dying (I had three die.)
I also never stuck with the diary because my mom snuck in and read them all of the time. There's something about knowing that the diary is no longer for me to keep my secrets in, but actually for me to tell my mom secrets that made me think what's the point?
I do like my blog as a record-keeper or to document my life right now. I think I will be interested to look at pictures of Adriana's graduation announcements in a year, when I've stopped thinking they are the best and start to think they are boring.
So, in my head this blog is different because I can post pictures, but more likely its just me trying to be a diary person again.
