This Thing Called Blogging

April 29, 2015 Tony Burgess 3 Comments

I think this thing called blogging is a great way to share a thought you have in the moment. For me its a way of chronicling the events of my life. There are times when I have to say something and to get feedback from people outside my head. It’s important to have a creative outlet where your voice can be heard.

All I hope is that I have something people are interested in hearing. My experience with blogging is one where there is something worth posting about if you pay attention. I tend to take a “breaking news” approach to my posts where I want to blog in the moment. Some folks like to accumulate thoughts and ideas and do one big post but for me if I don’t get it out there it will just disappear.

I do appreciate the contemplative approach to many bloggers here. They are thoughtful, deliberate and focused about what they post and it shows. Maybe I can get there one day.

Hanging Here For Awhile..I Am Blogging At WordPress

April 28, 2015 Tony Burgess 4 Comments

I think I will be doing more blogging here at WordPress. Somehow Tumblr has become overwhelming and perhaps a less tolerant place. Perhaps focusing on writing and being creative with a community that does that by nature will be good.

Your help is appreciated in making my experience here awesome. Keep on blogging good people!

Catch Up

April 27, 2015 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

There are loads of blogs out there and catching up on posts can be impossible. Sometimes the best you can do is to start from today and read forward. There are a lot of great posts you might be missing but there is only so much time in the day. I do my best to keep up but there’s only so much time in the day.

Post Length

April 23, 2015 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

I blog several times a day with posts of varying length. Some of my fellow bloggers here on WordPress are incredible writers who can pump out over 1000 words without sweat. My posts are lucky if they reach 200 words or so. You can get your point across in different ways whether it be words, pix, video, etc. However does a longer post get taken more seriously than a shorter one?

I guess I want to keep things brief or perhaps I just run out of things to say. Peoples life experience can influence and inform their blogging so I guess if you have done much you have a lot to say. One thing I can say is that I am a decent writer (who needs help with punctuation) and I am from the school that our attention span is shorter these days so I need to say what I need to say quickly. Not to say a long post can’t keep ones attention. Some folks can write forever on a subject and that inspires me. Writing comes from research, living and self examination and to be a better blogger who can write with authority doing those things can make a difference.

Well, WordPress tells me this post is over 200 words. Amazing.

Being Original

April 22, 2015 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

I believe in being the star of my own blog. Being creative is fun and being original is freedom. We need new voices and views of the world. My blog is a outlet for my thoughts and outlook. I can make connections too with people who are of like mind. We need more personal blogs where we can be ourselves.
