Why I started Blogging

I am a writer and a thinker, more so the latter than the former. I find I can best expres myself and articulate my thoughts if I write them down. Often if I have something important to say to someone, I will write them a letter rather than dicsuss it in person. I know this doesn't exactly follow proper etiquette, but it gets the job done effectively.
I have submitted articles to online magazines and other websites; some of them got published, others were laughed at. I even wrote a book, which has sold a whopping 100 copies. These have provided me the creative outlet I need, as well as a little satisfaction knowing that people are reading my stuff. But now as I grow older, and life becomes more demanding, I find the need to continue to express myself, but do not have the time to seek proper avenues of publication.
Enter Blogger.com. This newly established blog enables me to "freely speak my mind" and put it out there for the world to read. It is not so much that they need to listen to what I have to say, it is more that I need to get these things down on paper (or in this case, a keyboard).
So, I begin my blog. My thoughts may range from personal to relational to spiritual to political. By they are my thoughts. Read if you want, but I am going to express them anyway.
