Hello World

It's another glorious, 80-degree day in Chicago. The sun is shimmering on the water, the beach bums are out catching some sun, and I am sitting in my cube feeling wonderfully productive and awarding myself with an oh-so-short blogging break.

I've been thinking a lot about blogging lately. I've been dabbling in some social media work/research, which requires more than my daily fill of blog reading (can't say I don't absolutely love it though), and I can't help but wonder...

Do these amazing bloggers ever feel like their blogs are mediocre? Boring? Uninsightful?

I'm pretty confident about my writing, and I have no qualms with sharing my thoughts with the world, but why would the world care about a 20-something year old blogger? I don't have any fun etsy-shop eye-candy, I try to make my living space pretty, but would never deem it blog-worthy. I love my job, love love love, but I'm still just a "junior." I'm sure advertising pros can "wow" the blogosphere way more than I can. So what's the catch? Where does the confidence come from? How do little blogs like mine turn into people's favorite blogs, like cakies, or, creative envy, or 100 layer cake, or a cup of jo, or {frolic!}, or PS I made this (I know you know I could go on forever...)?? How how how?!

Inquiring minds want to know! I really do love blogging, writing, sharing. So how can I draw people in? Sigh. Maybe I need to become a crafter. Or get married. Or have a baby. All my favorite bloggers fit those criteria!

But I absolutely will not have a baby. Or get married (for a few years at least). Crafting is always fun though :). I want to find a way to be me, and share the fun parts with other blog-lovers. I hope it's possible!

Until Next Time,
A
