Blog About It

I think I'll write a book much like Ralph Fletcher's A Writer's Notebook about the benefits of blogging. I know that many of you don't like it or you feel that it's a "girly" thing to do, but the more I read your blogs the more I see you growing and maturing in your writing. I'm so excited to see those changes and I think it's because you're writing about topics that are your thoughts and things you genuinely care about. I know that sometimes you feel you're writing about the same things or that you don't know where to start, but I find that once you do start you typically have good things to say. About the 10 Blogs Per Month: I know that's a lot. But, once again, I find that if you write at least ten times in a month, you'll find good things to say and you'll get past the surface to a deeper level of self-exploration. I'm glad you're all blogging :) And when you have problems, exciting moments, scary days, heartbreaks, annoying situations - I'll continue saying those words you love to hear, "You should BLOG ABOUT IT!"
