I blog therefore I am?

A recent article in the Sunday The New York Times Style section about blogging stopped me in my tracks. Seems there's a sub-culture of "mommy bloggers." Who knew? They attend conferences about branding blogs and endorse products. The whole thing reeked of desperation and had me wondering, am I desperate? I'm not seeking seeking fame, fortune or free bees. In fact, I don't know if anyone other than my one follower --and a big shout out to my friend Heidi for that-- is even reading this blog. I blog for a creative outlet, as I'm more compelled to keep writing if I think there may be an audience. I blog to prove my existence to...myself. I blog because Fargo Eferdito rides again.

(In the interest of full disclosure, neither Lands' End nor Tretorn influenced my March 8 post regarding my beloved tennis shoes.)
