Why write unless you're going to be honest… a colleague of mine at work asked me today! And a few friends of mine tell me blogging is a waste of time, and only jobless people do it!
For my friends who believe blogging and writing is a waste of time:
I’ am really amazed by your lifestyle guys… its just so awesome the way you utilize you time, I wish I could use my time as productive as yours, I realize I’m so jobless to blog, but unfortunately I can’t make use of my time as productive as you could, so till I be in you league and understand the importance of time, and till I find a good job like you all, please excuse.
And to another friend who said “Why write unless you're going to be honest?”
The problem here is that honesty often equals whining. I'm not talking about a political writing where the author's attempt is to sit high on his horse, staging Republicans or Democrats, sounding as knowledgeable as they can, as better as they can, while only proving that they've read just one more biased new release than I have. Nor am I talking about the writings (blogs) those talks about religion. Or as often I see a lot a writings (blog) that talks about themselves, their routines. “I woke up today…my day was bad, I brushed with Colgate Gel… blah blah blah…”
Again, why write unless you're going to be honest? To the contrary, I would ask, why write if you're only going to show too much of your wooziness. No one likes a whiner. Then what to write?
I believe a good honest writing hit that emotional chord in all of us, and that’s when you become interesting, that’s when you sell. All of the concepts that were sold to you will have something personal that would have hit that emotional chord inside you.
I'm talking about a writing that shows how much we are the same page, while at the same time delivers fresh details that none us could experience without having read the writing.
But the problem is that not all of them are in the same page, if everybody would be in the same page, and then there would be only one type of writing that would have been hit. There would not have been so varied type of writing and various authors to pen them down. Then again, if somebody likes a certain author, I believe that there was something in his writing that had hit that emotional chord, if you don’t like him them, then the writing failed to hit the same.
It’s so similar to the priorities of the genre of music we like and the types of movies we prefer. Sometimes it depends on the state of mind.
Keeping in mind, this emotional aspect in reading and writing, I usually don’t care as to who likes my blog or not. If you don’t like it may be there is nothing that striked your emotion as you and I are not in the same page, if you like it, you’ll continue to like it.
I firmly believe a good writing would show how much we are the same page, while at the same time delivers fresh details that none us could experience without having read the writing.
Honestly, I’m trying to achieve that, till then…
God I hate blogs like mine, so could you.
