My active participation in blogging is a new thing for me. However, reading blogs and listening to podcasts is not. I've been engaged with this side of the "community" for a couple years now - basically since I started into LOTRO. Today I was rather giddy (yes, that's the best word to describe it) with a blog post at LOTRO Chronicles which linked to my own.
Okay, so what? Well, like I said, my dream for this space is to be part of an overall community of bloggers and readers who engage with each other and the content of their discussions (mostly LOTRO, but gaming in general is cool too). So, I'm giddy because it's the beginnings of that. And while the LOTRO community as a whole has already emerged, seeing this little part of it come about for me is great.
I might be overly-excited about the whole thing, but that's okay. Don't blogs exist because we're over-excited about stuff and we want to have an outlet? Today, I'm over-excited about blogging. And over-excited about using the word over-excited. Okay, I'm done now.
