I’ve noticed that blogging can be a pretty solitary activity, but it also seems to open up a whole new social world. On one hand, you’re spending hours alone writing and editing, but on the other, you’re connecting with readers and other bloggers online. I’m curious how others manage this. Do you find your online interactions through your blog start to replace or enhance your in-person social life? Has blogging led to any real-world friendships or opportunities you wouldn’t have had otherwise? I’d love to hear how you keep things balanced.
