Did someone say the blues? Don’t get me started about Janis Joplin. What a voice. What passion.

We bloggers and writers have a voice. We have passion. And sometimes when we have the blues we have to put it into words. We have to blog and write about it.
Blogging and writing help.
Of course on my personal blog I never have the blues. There I’m the Old Soldier, a small time blogger trying to use my online marketing experiences to help other small time bloggers. I’m the elder statesman of flash. I never complain. Who wants to read a whiner?

My blog is a celebration of life. I’m trying to attract readers, not chase them away. Deep in my soul I know bloggers and writers are people of hope. The very act of writing is an act of hope. But sometimes life does give you the blues. Sometimes we have to blog and write about it. Just like Pearl had to sing about it.

Nice one…Thanks!
Janice was one of my icons growing up! No matter what you can’t take away a soul! Thanks for the share!
I think it is OK to blog about whatever is annoying you especially if you can do it with a bit of humour, but your readers are not likely to keep coming back if you become a grumpy old man or woman.
If I express my blues I feel bluer sometimes.
An uplifting peace. Well done.
Christine
Unfortunately, when you are a journeyman writer your mental state mustn’t interfere with your writing habits.
I play bass and love playing the Blues. It seems an obvious contradiction but singing or playing the Blues is very uplifting and blogging can be on occasions.
Yes you are right Guy. When we have the blues we have to put it into words and in my case, I write a poem.
Writing helps release thing inside of you that has built up and causes you pain on the inside, writing is a great release.
great write thnx for sharing
Teves, I believe we can put a wide range of our emotions into words, especially the blues.
alc, she was a dynamic performer. I bought all of her music when it came out.
Wow Guy, you are now focusing on writing about music right? Well it’s a success!
Frances, no one wants to be around a grouch. I don’t want to be around a grouch. I know my readers don’t want to be around a grouch.
wonder, expressing my blues usually make me feel worse, too. It’s tough to keep it in and it hurts to let it out.
I like the way you’re combing music and blogging. Music expresses so much of what we do.
Guy great write and happy new year to you:) TAKE CARE!
well written….great….
I was really in a blue mood after Christmas so I wrote about post Christmas depression. In Oct my blues found it’s way into a rant. Take care, Guy and Belated Happy New Year.
Well, we all need the passion for knowledge and writing as Bloggers.
I just love Janis…
Christine, I think our words at times can not only help to heal others but they can also help to heal ourselves.
Inspiring words – sometimes we have to just get it out there the good and the bad, it’s all part of life’s rich tapestry, and you are so right that is the right way to approach it as a celebration of life!
