I had a conversation with my pastor the other day and he said that there is nothing wrong with my blog but he just doesn't get it. He doesn't get why I care about the stats of my blog. He doesn't get why I love writing it. He doesn't get why I promote it via Twitter or Facebook. He doesn't get it. He's not the only one. There are lots of people out there that just don't get why I blog. And that's ok.
It's hard to explain but I love having a blog. It's kind of like a kid who is proud of their art project. The reality is it's not a masterpiece but they are proud of it. They are proud of it because it's something they created. robshep.com is not perfect. I make grammar mistakes, I often write blog posts that are too long, and I sometimes say things that are inappropriate (did you read the blog post on wipe your own butt?). Even though it's not perfect robshep.com is a part of me. What you read is my humor, it's my thoughts, it's my life for the world wide web to see.
I love writing, I love making people laugh, and I love having a blog. It's one of the few things I've ever created from scratch. Can anyone relate? Maybe you can't relate to having a blog but maybe there is something else out there that you have created and because of that you are proud of it. Maybe it's not perfect but because it's yours you care about. I'd love to know what have you created that you love?
