a blogger, exposed
a new york times must-read: exposed by emily gould
The will to blog is a complicated thing, somewhere between inspiration and compulsion. It can feel almost like a biological impulse. You see something, or an idea occurs to you, and you have to share it with the Internet as soon as possible. What I didn’t realize was that those ideas and that urgency — and the sense of self-importance that made me think anyone would be interested in hearing what went on in my head — could just disappear.
this is one of the most honest, real articles i have ever read about blogging. i could endlessly quote her, but i won’t — just read it. she also blogs at emily magazine and heartbreak soup. isn’t this whole internet-blogging-explosion rather amazing??
