Just Curious

I've been an active blogger lately, moreso as a reader than as a writer. And so I must put forth the somewhat inevitable question: When YOU write entries for your blog, do you write for yourself or for others/an audience?

I write not for an audience but for myself. Sounds selfish but if you get too caught up in writing because you know people will be reading then you won't be totally honest with the words. Of course I know at least a couple will be reading it but to me, if they like it fine if they don't that's fine too.

My blog started as being for me; not so much anymore. *shrug*

Well.. its mostly for myself. It helps me get the frustration out. But sometimes I get carried away with a few threads and start writing for the audience than myself. Either way, it helps.
