		<description>@ Rhonda - Your personal blogging history sounds like it follows the way the blogging world as a whole developed. Started as web-logs, logging someone&#039;s narrative, then they became creative outlets with endless possibilities, and now there&#039;s a whole culture of following blogs :-D</description>

		<description>Congratulations on being the first blogger featured in this blog project! 

Personally, I started blogging because I wanted to keep a diary of sorts. Keep my family in the loop.

However, I changed jobs and am now doing transcription, which means I spend every day, all day, not having a single independent thought, as I&#039;m always typing everyone else&#039;s thoughts.

Blogging became my creative outlet. I have discovered that while I&#039;m not the best writer out there, I do have some talent. I can entertain people with some of my crazier memories, or thoughts. Or make them weepy with some of my sadder stories. 

I love the fact that people are now interested in what I have to say. I have &#039;followers&#039;, and am, as they say, a comment whore.  lol  

I do try to keep low-key enough so that I have time to read my favorites daily, and respond to those newbies who comment on my site. I&#039;m happy with my dozen or two bloggers, but would be ecstatic to have a week&#039;s worth of triple digit comments!  Just short-term, though, because that would be incredibly overwhelming!!  lol

		<description>@ Blake - If you&#039;re passionate about your topic, of course it&#039;ll be both fun and frustrating. Whenever we work on something that&#039;s so important to us, we feel every bump and snag. But I think you&#039;d agree that the exhilaration far outweighs the downsides?

@ Ken - I feel like I&#039;m still absorbing and learning so much (aren&#039;t we all, I suppose), so sometimes I don&#039;t feel as comfortable with an authoritative expression as I do with writing about exploring approaches. I&#039;m not sure if that&#039;s exactly what you were getting at, but I&#039;m curious for you to expand on what you meant...</description>

		<description>I like the personal voice and the mind-map, but I hope you develop your voice *about* something, not just *how* something. The two are obviously linked, but we often learn how by deeply exploring an about.
