Why, oh, why? Buccaneer Blogfest!

It's the second installment in the Buccaneer Blogfest, in which we are instructed to explain why we started blogging.

I originally started a blog over on LiveJournal to keep a personal record of interesting things that happened to me. I never really thought about keeping a blog for any sort of professional reason, until I started writing seriously. Then I switched to Blogger and started using it to keep track of my writing several times a week. Long ago, I never thought anyone (other than maybe my husband) would ever want to read my posts.

The more I got involved in the writing community online, the more the blog here evolved. I've met some fascinating people, writers and readers alike. Which is exactly why I signed up for this Blogfest!

So I heartily apologize for the lack of reciprocation thus far. I come home from camp tomorrow night, back to the world of WiFi and air conditioning. I can't wait to get back and catch up on the thirty seven berjillion emails I'm sure I needed to reply to yesterday. *Sigh*

No, I'm really excited to get home and catch up on all the other Buccaneers on this Blogfest. I promise to improve on my postings next week, when I'm back in Civilization.

  4. I am impressed that you are somehow blogging from the middle of nowhere, unless you scheduled this from home before you left. If you did that, you are truly a forward thinker. Either way, no worries. It's Summer. You should be out in nature. The electron highway will be there when you return, but will nature???

  7. Love camping, but I can't imagine partaking in that during the summer. We go in early November and again in April when it's not too hot or cold here in Florida:-) Looking forward to your posts next week!
