What I learned about blogging in 2009...
What I learned in my first-ever blog is that without She Writes I would not have put on my roller-blades! 25 blog posts later I can say it was/is great fun and also sad, inspiring and crushing with loneliness, a sweet connector with others and a questionable ego-trip, spontaneous and belabored, playful and dutiful, pure game and serious work... In short, everything writing is in itself, just in a different form of play. I learned that I love it and that Gertie got it right, once again: Why do something if it can be done!

What a wonderful photo! I'm just about to get on the roller blades myself with a blog, and soon you'll see it on the roster of SheWrites' blogging group. Tentative title: Ritual and Rhubarb Pie. I'm hoping to find it playful and think I will.

No stopping, oh no! Further learning, doubting, believing.... More challenge, adventure, fun -- and more doing what can't be done! Sweet of you to comment and to inquire...

I learned that blogging is like other online platforms, it takes time and effort to get acclimated, that you can build community that despite a few false starts you can find your voice and your path, that online friends can be real friends. I learned that I am a writer, my ability to write can and will improve if I commit to the work. I learned to stop blog hopping to spaces that neither support nor value what I contribute to the collective conversation. I’ve learned how to find what I need and I’ve learned what I needed to know to run my own space. I’ve learned that I can evolve and embrace this new way of communicating.

It sounds like you've stopped blogging. If so, why?
