Writing a blog has become quite popular over the past years, and for a variety of reasons. I believe many of us, including me, like to express ourselves via of the written word and pictures. Some write a blog to document their family life, others to expound political views. Some as a pulpit to share religious faith, or to promote a recently published book. Or perhaps tell about a hobby, recipes or game. All have their place, and shed light on topics that meet someones interest.
I write 2 lane highway, my own personal blog of One woman's reflections of past and present - people, places and things that contribute to the joy and sweetness; the sorrow and hurt of an everyday, ordinary life. Every six weeks, I also blog for Writing North Idaho , a web retreat for writers, news, opportunities, and knowledge sharing.
I posted a blog this morning on WNI about self help books. While its purpose was to share about a genre different from fiction, non-fiction, mystery and romance, it was also to honor my brother, Walt as it would have been his 59th birthday today, September 4. If you click onto link below, I think you'll see the connection between the two; Self-help books and my brother, and why the memory of what we shared will always be with me.
