I’ve heard a lot of people make jokes about trying to describe blogging to their mother, grandmother, father, and even to co-workers and bosses. Even a best friend’s eyes glaze over when that slogging, logging, grogging, flogging, whatchamacallit – oh, yes, B-L-O-G-Ging thing comes up in conversation.
This week, your blogging challenge is to describe blogging.
Think this an easy task? Think again. I’m not just looking for a text book definition, though that would be nice. I’m looking for descriptions and keywords that would make someone sit up and suddenly have respect for this thing you do called blogging.
Describe what it means to you, how it impacts your life, maybe how it has changed your life, if your blog generates income which puts food on the table and a roof over your head, and what it means to work as a blogger. Describe blogging as if it was a job description on your resume. Prove to us, in words, the value of blogging so we all understand what it is.
This is one of many blogging challenges I offer weekly to help kick your blogging ass. For more challenges, see the Blog Challenge category.
