Sure, we could set up on a street corner and wait for people to stop by and perhaps appreciate our work. But, I don't know that I ever would have gotten my "work" out in front of so many if I hadn't had the option of cyberspace. And it HAS certainly been an inspiration to continue.

It's been, variously, a lark and a burden, but it's the opportunity to exchange ideas and connect with people that I would not otherwise have the pleasure to know that keeps me in. That, and the fact that I just like to write ~ and will happily send it out there even when no one will read. Sometimes I think it may even be better that way. More free, less self-censure.<br><br>But I'm inclined to agree with Sunflowerkat; it is not, in fact, easy for visual artists to share their efforts with others, either. I would no more display my art 'on any old street corner' than you would stand up and declaim your poetry in Market Square, and the internet has proven to be an equally welcome venue for us as well.

I've always been a reader and a writer and this blogging thing has been the perfect place for an amateur like me to do both. I have kept diaries since elementary school, and although in the past they were always "private", on occasion someone else would read what I wrote (either because I showed them, or because they snooped). It is therapeutic, to me, to put my private thoughts out there, and to have others read and respond, especially when they seem to "get" what I'm trying to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
