Tell Me Something Tuesday was hosted by Rainy Day Ramblings, but she has (temporarily?) stopped blogging. So a group of us that had been doing posts (Linda from Book Girl of Mur-y-Castell, Karen from For What It’s Worth, Roberta from Offbeat YA, Jen from That’s What I’m Talking About and me) decided to get together, come up with some more topics and keep the meme going.Michelle made us a logo and we’re off and running. For more details, check out this post where I reintroduced the meme.
I can be sporadic, but when I do join in I will always share next week’s topic at the end of the post. So, today is about…
What do your family and friends think of your blogging?
Hmm I honestly don’t know. *shrugs* I’ve never really cared I guess LOL! I remember when I first started blogging, my brother was really supportive. I was severely depressed and lonely and blogging was my connection to a group of people where I felt comfortable. He helped me create my original assets for my blog (Fantasy is More Fun). When I paid for a host and setup a year long commitment he got nervous that it was something that wouldn’t stick and I was pouring all this money into it. But here we are – 9+ years later – and it’s still a place I go to feel connected and have so many friends.
I think my friends know I blog and think it’s cool but that’s about it. My husband… yeah I’m not sure he really understands what a blog is, let alone that I do it. He just knows I have book friends lol. But that works because it’s my space, solely for me.
I’m glad blogging has been such a positive part of your life. My family is supportive but not really interested in what I do. My husband worries it’s too much like a job.
My family was never interested in my blog. They know I blog but they don’t read it. My daughter will sometimes take pictures for me to use and send them to me. I have one friend who lives in my apartment complex that reads my Sunday posts though.
I reviewed on other people’s blogs so it was a little scary but I’m glad I went on my own now.
