One blog for each year :)

I haven't been a diary writer nor a blog writer which is obvious.
The idea of writing infront of the screen and being not sure whether it's gonna be read by someone. The answer has to change the style from my point of view.

Having a diary. There used to be a newspaper column writer writing at Radikal, Turkish newspaper like 3 or 4 years ago. The name of the column was "Asli's Diary" ("Asli" is a female name). She was pretending that she was writing her diary and posting it on the paper.

The idea is discussable for me. The reason is that diary is supposed to be written for private use so the writer doesn't have to think about any posibble readers opinions. The diary would reflect the heart and the brain of the writer without any hesitating, any doubt....

How about blog? It can't be a diary coz some day someone will read it. In addition if you are willing to write a blog in order to reach someone in the future....well the things will be taken by the reader will be as much as their understanding ....so I don't think I'm down to it.

I think the best way is to create your reader group first then write with the consciousness of your readers. Otherwise I think it will be shouting in the dark.

That will be all for this year, I think.
See you next year my fellow reader :)
