Introspection

I've been following many blogs (mostly lurking, occasionally commenting) for quite awhile, and now I’m experiencing a blog from the other side. It has been one week since I started as a newbie blogger. I feel a strange mix of exposure and solitude. With every post I write, I remember that it could be read by anyone, but I know that so far I have no visitors. I’m not expecting or trying to get visitors yet, because I want to establish a track record of blogging first.

Writing a blog with no visitors is rather like writing a novel—you hope that someday someone will want to read it. Since there is no guarantee, you have to make the effort worthwhile for yourself. I’m trying to be very honest in my writing, and there is satisfaction in digging deep to figure out what I really want to say.
