I want to write. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a novelist. Dreams from past, forgotten long ago.

I still want to write.

What about starting a blog?

Actually there are people who write about theories. I’m not one of them.

There are great educators writing magnificent materials for classrooms. I just create handouts and exercises for my own classes.

So what can I write?

What’s the reason for me to keep a blog?

By the way, I don’t want to be online. It’s like you are so approachable. The thought of being watched is a bit scary.

But wait a second, what’s wrong with it?

If I write, people will read me. I’ll have a target reader. Good…

It’s something like being a student again.

I’ll have writing tasks.

I’ll have a reason.

Wow, that’ll be great.

I think I can reach my students too. They can blog too. Oh God, they will have real readers too. May be I should think about it.

If I blog and if I have readers, most probably, I’ll read their blogs too.

So I’ll read more.

They will be ELT people maybe.

Yes, that’ll be an opportunity to learn, to share, to collaborate.

Yes, yes, yes,

I want to start a blog.

I should start a blog.

I must start it ASAP.

I think the ones who haven’t started yet, should consider it seriously. It’s great, it’s addictive, it’s challenging.

I think we, the ones who have started blogging and tweeting should at least try to encourage the others once or twice.

They should also join us.

The more, the merrier.

Finally, I’d like to thank you for this opportunity. Being a guest writer is a great feeling. I’m really happy to be a part of your PLN.
