Blogging Start Group Writing Project Get Paid to Write Online is having a group writing project about how people get started in blogging, so here is my story.
The reason I started to blog was because I am nearing the end of two years of writing a Middle Grade Novel, and everything that I read says an author should have a blog and a web page. It’s that simple and please do not tell me authors are supposed to dig ditches to be published, as you will see me grabbing a shovel and running outside.
I had heard the term “blog” for a long time but it was something other people did. I had visions of chat rooms. I took a class one time that had chat room sessions and I hated it. Not the class, just the fact that people would come and go and interrupt everything to ask someone a personal question or tell you they were off to the bathroom, etc.
So, I started my first blog Savanvleck’s Weblog and had a great time. As it turned into a more personal blog, I decided to start a blog dedicated to Writing. You are reading it. I post to my personal blog daily and try to post every third day to my writing blog.
I’ve had a little more trouble bringing humor into this writing blog. I’ve been treating it more as a classroom lecture. Hope you will stick with me as I find the humor in this writing process and get my novel ready to send out into the world.
“It’s the journey and not the destination.” Anthony Bourdain and probably a few people before him, said. I love the journey of writing books and painting pictures. The destination is the icing on the cake. And, that is not bad, either!

Thanks for joining in and for sharing, Sheryl. I've added your post to the list. Having a blog is great for any writer, I think, because you can practice your skills and have fun at the same time.
