This has been a big question of mine to myself. I’ve already asked this question in the past. Why do I blog? Am I an attention whore? Do I crave the approval of the public for what I say and do? Am I just another person looking to spread his opinion to everyone (all 5 readers) out there? Wait, is that the same as being an attention whore? Or am I one of those people who is looking to somehow make it rich with some controversial blog that gets millions and millions of hits? To blog or not to blog. That is the question.

I’m probably a little of all of those.

Sure I crave attention. There are very few people who don’t. I used to be one of those people who preferred to be seen, and never heard. I had no opinion. I wanted to be a ghost. Just get by and be satisfied with my normal life. Then one day, I woke up and I thought to myself that I didn’t want to do it anymore. I became less introverted and more extroverted. I think that’s one reason I blog.

I like to spread some news to everyone. I’m a gossip, there’s no denying it. I love passing on the latest news and gossip. I think I’ve been called a “chatty girl” before as well. I’m sure any of my friends with whom I talk to regularly will attest to that. That’s definitely another reason I blog.

I’m not Really looking to get rich with blogging. But wouldn’t it be nice to be one of those people who make a living with blogging? I mean I just want to be able to pay the bills and occasionally get something great for the Meesh. That’s all I’m asking. Of course, I realize I probably need to work more on my posts and somehow blog on a regular basis. I won’t make excuses. But I think that’s definitely yet another reason to blog.

I also blog to improve my writing. I’m sure if I actually write something everyday for a long time, my writing style will improve. Ideas will start to come easier to my mind, and the flow of words will come out easier. My writing will improve to the point where people will come to my site and read stuff because they want to read what I have to write about. Did that make any sense? Basically I guess I just want to be interesting, and I think if I blog more, my writing will be exactly that: interesting.

So we come to the million dollar question: why do you blog? And if you don’t, why don’t you?
