Blogging Basics: Define Yourself… Not Your Blog!

We all have days where we just feel depressed, upset, or plain angry!  Who says you shouldn’t blog when you are in a less than ideal mood?  Some of the best comments I have received have been on one of my rare rants. :-)

Granted, I am super bubbly (as I am sure you can tell by all my smiles) and typically in a good mood.  But, I, too, have bad days.  When people read blogs, they read them for the personal aspect.  If people just wanted the news, they would pick up a newspaper!

So, next time you are feeling a bit “out of whack” let it out on your blog… you just might be surprised!

    I’ve been contemplating a rant (it’s already written, but just sitting there)…might just have to put it out there and see what happens. ;)

    I haven’t actually written a rant before. However, I must say that there have been days where a random reader’s comment will certainly brighten my day. I hope to post more personal posts in the future, so thanks for the tip. :)

    Thanks for the advice. I don’t suppose anyone wants to ‘hear’ me whine. But I have found when I’m real and true – readers respond. I’m learning the balance and loving the process while figuring out this blogging thing. I appreciate ALL your help along the way. It’s made a difference.
    Bless you!

    I think it’s a good avenue to let it all out. You are not overloading a specific person, as compared to sharing it with a friend.As long as you don’t mention names if you are angry at someone.
