| Believe it or not, I've gotten so much positive feedback about my blabbing and ranting. This is just the little story behind it. I love to write and knowing that my writing might make someone stop and think, or laugh, or even cry is amazing. It entirely makes my day. There are countless 'rant' pages out there and although I do enjoy reading them, I enjoy writing my own so much more. And like I said, the feedback is amazing. I once got an email telling me that my rants and blabbing on was my signature to the site. That feels good. I enjoy, maybe more than anything, getting the chance to get things off my chest through writing and having people respond to it or agree (or even disagree) is wonderful. It's just an amazing feeling. Some people get their feelings out through music or painting. I get mine out through writing. My rants start one of two ways. Usually I write about things I've notice, experienced, witnessed, thought about, or something that just down right bugs the hell out of me. I try and write one, about anything under the sun, at least once a day. Sort of like a journal, but in my eyes better. Because to tell you the truth my life is kind of boring, and a daily journal would just reflect the boringness of my day to day life. I enjoy writing sort of 'editorials' so much more. Maybe because they take more time and thought than just a normal 'dear diary: well, I did this, this, and this today.' And sometimes my day to day ranting, has to do with Hanson or music since both are such a great part of my life. If I think it's good enough (and I'm very hard on myself) I'll put it on my site. And although I've only been writing rants for a little under a year now I can already tell the progress I've been making. Especially if you look at my first few. It's kind of been just a natural thing, they have gotten longer and much more opinionated. I usually think, the more opinionated the better...but hey that's just me. Or my rant will just start with me starting at a blank untitled notepad waiting for me to hack anything out. In most cases I'll start thinking only for the site. And I'll gear it pacifically towards the site. Then they of course end up being Hanson related. And for some odd reason I love ranting and raving about Hanson and just music in general. The whole music business thing gets me excited and kind of heated. (ask anyone I know...they try and avoid the whole 'boy band/music' topics with me) Although I love music and it's such a big part of my life, it's almost like a love/hate relationship because there are so many things I despise about it too. It’s such a wonderful thing, yet there are so many bad aspects of it. Music is probably my most used topic and the topic I like voicing my opinions on the most. My ranting is my personal favorite place on the site. I love to be able to just write what I'm feeling or what I'm thinking about at the moment and to be able to post it for hundreds or possibly thousands of people all over the world. For people to actually respond to it is a totally different thing too. I once had a reader tell me she cried after reading one of them. That really blows me away. Really. |
