about the layout edits

I tried to make it look at little less girly and added some to my descriptions.
let me know what you think!

So, why I write...

I hope you read my previous post and thought about it, even if you don't blog.



I promised I'd tell you why I write.
Well, first of all, I write because I love to. Writing out my thoughts makes me really happy. I used to journal, but now I blog, partly so I'm more careful and polish it more, and partly because it's easier.

Second, I write to stay connected. I started this blog over the summer out of boredom, but now I keep it us so that my friends who I don't see very much can read it and see a little tidbit of my life.

Third, I write to become better. the more I write, the better I get at articulating my thoughts and thinking outside of the box.



BUT, none of those are the most important reason I write. The most important reason I write, when I write anything, but paticularly this blog, is for me . And hopefully there are times when God will work through me.



Solio Deo Gloria.

With so much out there...

This is for other bloggers.

I was blog surfing today. Have you ever noticed how many people post all kinds of facts about thier life on the web? It's a little bit scary, seeing how much of our lives we are willing to open up to total strangers. I'm not downplaying blogs, but I thought it was interesting. And I wanted to ask a question.

With so much out there, so many other blogs that can be read, what will make your's special? Why should we visit your blog? What makes it unique?

Some of my favorite blogs:
~ Katie's 'missionary blog'
~ The Hope for Emily blog
~ Christy Thomas' photo blog

But they have elements like any other blog. so, to return to my original question, what will make your writings unique?





I'd like to propose that nothing will.




Yes, that's right. Instead of going the Mr. Rodgers Route* and telling you that you're special, I'm going to tell you that you are non-unique, your writings will be like everyone else's. So with that in mind, why write? I know why I do, and I'll tell you soon. But I want you to think about it. Why do you write?

Comment and tell me.
