The Ultimate Writing Litmus Test

Blogging is pretty much writing but on a web-based medium. I just read that the ultimate litmus test to writing is this:

"...that you don't care if anyone ever reads what you write."

I believe this to be true because I blog a lot and pretty consistently, I also journal every now and then as well. The reason why I do it is because it helps me think, reflect, learn, and grow from my experiences. A lot of people blog and expect people to leave them comments so that they'll feel good about themselves. I don't think that's true for me. I blog and write because I like it and honestly don't care if people leave me comments or even completely read all that I wrote. But if someone does leave a comment, and it does lead into a discussion, then that's cool as well.

I totally agree. I have so much on my mind. It helps to get it out. Even if no one reads, it's nice to share and get things off my chest.
