You Talking to Me?

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009

Someone said a blog is suppose to have misspelled words and broken language and generally bad grammar. I agree if you never plan on sharing your blog with anyone else. I decided I want to share my blog. I want to share my thoughts. Maybe someone can learn from them. Maybe someone can give some insight and positively influence me or visitors to the site.  My message or idea is not good if the reader cannot comprehend it. The job of a writer is to convey a message that the reader can comprehend. A common language is needed to convey my message to the reader. Good grammar is necessary in order to get my message across. I want people to understand my thoughts exactly how they are, not necessarily how I would say it in person. The reader is priority. The message is no good if the reader does not get the message. This is the difference between a ‘personal’ and a ‘public’ blog. The writer of a personal blog writes for themselves. The writer of a public blog writes for the reader. The thoughts maybe the same, but the message must be delivered with the reader in mind in a public blog. Otherwise, the purpose of a public blog is defeated.
