Blogging Free-write

I think the idea of blogging is great. It's basically an in-depth version of facebook status or "tweet." The only way that blogging really works though, is if you have followers. WHICH is not an easy task. Many teens, especially, are very disinterested in the idea of a blog because it sounds kind of stupid. Writing for no audience? But the truth is that anytime anyone writes, it's mainly for themselves. J.K. Rowling didn't write her first Harry Potter story for her audience, because she didn't even have an audience at the time. Writing can take you any place you want to go, and allows you to develop characters who can live the lives that you can only dream of. Writing makes you God. You can give life,and you can take life away. Also, you have the ability to dictate how any story, or anecdote, ends. I think every teenager, adult, granparent, WHOEVER should get into blogging. It's a great way of venting, and it allows your voice to be heard/read. Who knows, maybe your small-time blog will gain notoriety as you develop more interesting, or controversial, blog posts. It's cool to have your own website. I think anybody who has interest in the internet, writing, or both, should definitely get into the art of blogging. It's very quick and easy to set up a Blogger account, especially if you already have a Twitter or GMail username. I hope that my blog will someday gain some followers, and maybe people will catch on to the trend of blogging. If not, I guess I'll be writing to myself for the next couple months.... that's cool, too.
