As I've explained to a few of you out there who have asked, I didn't start out writing the blog for anyone other than mostly myself. It serves as a decent creative and emotional outlet, but it's an outlet that I created, too, in order for all of you to get know a little more about me--perhaps that was about 20% of the reason.
Over the past, whatever, year-ish I've kept my distance from a lot of you. I only hope that you have not taken that personally! It had nothing to do with any of you, and you know who you are. I just needed my time for a while--which is something in my earlier life that I didn't have much of.
That said, under no obligation to you, of course, I would love for this blog to become more interactive. Although the comments from all of you out there have been phenomenal--whether through here or social networks--I don't mean comments (but please keep them coming)! I've been privileged to have you intelligent readers pose very thought-provoking questions, and since that's been the case I'd like to see how this goes:
I'd like to hear from you what you think some really important topics are. Social media, the internet, and, of course, the news are great places to find new information, but I can't find it all! If there is something going on that you would like me to write about so the message gets to more people, tell me about it and tell me why it's making you upset/happy/feel any certain way! If you provide an interesting topic, I will write about it and include your name (or an alias if you wish to remain anonymous) within the blog post! I'll also leave you the option of whether you'd like your name tagged in social media in case questions come to you! Lastly, I will show you the full draft of what I've written, and will allow you to add certain points that I may have missed so to be more true to the topic at hand. Understand that all of my previous works have either been editorial pieces, i.e. mostly opinionated, or have been about my life. So, before telling me about a topic, know that my opinions about it, whether they are yours or not, will be put into the article. However, again, you'll be able to read the article before it's posted, so if a happy medium is not reached between the both of us, then the article will not be posted. Fair, right?
A lot of the newer topics I have written on are posts to get a conversation going. To those sharing my posts from time to time, thank you! I'm glad that I'm writing share-able/informative-enough posts. It means a lot!
Now that I've laid everything out on the table, what do you guys say?
Do you trust me?
