My sister was in town recently and we were both interested in seeing Julia and Julie. We were delighted. The idea of blogging every day seems daunting and the movie does a great job developing the unfamiliar side effects that blogging inherently provokes. Judgement by others being at the top of the list. But isn't that what typically happens anyway, whether blogging or not? Random worrying about what others might think, are already thinking or have thought in the past....
Less so than you would think. Essentially, we are all wrapped up in our own story and hardly recognize that most others are really not that interested in what we have to say or when. Our self centered motives for blogging or any other self promotion usually go unrequited, unnoticed and uneffective in garnering that much coveted attention. Truthfully, we've created this false reality that others sit around anticipating ways to judge us, from our hair and clothes to our very blogs and facebookings. Where are most people when we tentatively tap the publish button, regretting the post as we watch the hourglass drip? They are busy with their lives, and only so often do they tap into your realm, read your blunders and smile, feeling better by engaging in a hap hazard quip relayed by a friend and congratulating you for your courage, whilst remarking that your grammar needs improvement.
Happy posting!
