Sacrifices, Hard Work, Tears, & Social Networking !

A lot of people think that being a blogger is easy, its NOT! People just don't sit behind a computer screen and type there opinions out about what they think about on certain topics, they dont talk about gossip and world news, the enviornment, oh wait, yes they do! But its not as easy as it sounds. Being a blogger takes a lot of work. You have to be commited to it, you have to want it, and most importantly you have to have a lot of free time and be passionate and patient. There are sacrifices that people must make sometimes in order to blog. You might have to sign up for a social networking service, advertise, meet new people that you may not like, go out of your norms and values and even pretend to be someone you are not, maybe, or maybe not. A lot of people put hard work into their blogging, and its hard for them to show people the true talent they posses. For me, I've made several sacrifices and I understand how hard it is to blog.

You have to be consistent with your work, something that even I as an writer my whole life, have not been. I've been slacking with updating my blog, but its only because I feel people dont listen to what I have to say, because its so hard to add and find people that share the same interests as you, in writing and blogging. Lame excuse, I know but its true! I don't know anyone that blogs, anyone, and I know a great amount of people, but blogging isn't the norm with people that are too absorbed into their own lives and have other "important" things to worry about. That's why its so hard as is, not a lot of people I know support me enough to help me get my blog out there where it can be read, but I've started expanding my social skills and have moved to twitter, sadly. I'm doing so much just for a blog that may or may not be read, and the question I often ask myself is: Is it worth it? Even though I always seem to ask myself that ridiculous question, the answer always and will continue to stay the same, a simple small and curt YES! It definitely is! I love writing and although getting my stories out there is hard, it will not stop me from doing what I love! My hard work, tears and sacrifices that I have put into this, will one day, be recognized and although the day seems so bleak, invisible and non existent, the hope that lingers in my heart, the sores on my fingers from writing for hours on end, the faith that I have in myself and the fact that I am confident in my work, will keep me going!
