A blogging good time!

I have just had an interview about my life as a blogger. It was all recorded and everything, for a university project. I seriously enjoyed it. Being asked all of those questions and thinking about the answers has seriously made me realise how blogging has changed my life, how much I love doing it, and how, finally I’ve managed to keep something like this going for more than a week...

Throughout my teenage years I tried several times to keep a diary, as something to look back on and remember times in my life. It usually started as a new year’s resolution... and often ended before February arrived. I said in the interview that this blog is going to be amazing to read through in years to come, and for Isabelle to read when she's older, but I think the one thing that's kept me going with it is seeing how many views it’s had. I love checking the stats and seeing that often there has been more than 100 a day!

I have definitely become hooked. There was a time, shortly after having Isabelle that I nearly stopped doing it, as I didn’t think people would find it interesting any more, however I soon saw that wasn’t the case.

I think even if people weren't reading it now I’d still carry on. It keeps me sane! It really seems to take the pressure off of life and all its issues. It's a way of getting things off my chest.
There have been several blog posts that I’ve sat and written over the past year, that I have never even posted, as they may have been unsuitable, but just writing them made me feel a whole lot better.

Blogging has been a big part of my life for the past 14 months, it’s my 'me' time (and I don’t get a lot of that these days!). I've always found it helpful, but this interview has definitely helped me realise quite how helpful it is. I have no intention of stopping. In fact, I’m planning a completely new blog (as well as this one) on a completely different subject, which I plan to start on Sunday (reasons for the chosen day will be revealed).
So watch this space...
