An audience

I started writing a post late last night but I wasn't able to publish it. Something just didn't seem right when I hovered my mouse over the publish button. I looked at the post again this morning and I could see why. What I had written was for one person, more a message than a random thought from me. Whilst I find it so hard to pick up a phone or send an email, writing here seems so much easier.

Which begs the question, why? Is it because I know friends and random strangers are reading this? Is it because writing my thoughts here is less committal than expressing them in a more direct way to an individual? Is it because a blog allows me to express my feelings in a more unconventional way? Am I playing to the crowd?
