Charming but Single Blogger Interview

The blogosphere has been clogged over the last five years with millions of pages detailing the day-to-day trevails of average people from around the world. With such an environment, bloggers who want to get people to recognize their material and remain loyal readers need to develop a unique and genuine voice to communicate their thoughts. One such blog is the candid and interesting Charming but Single (http://charmingbutsingle.blogspot.com)  and I have had the honor of speaking with its author by email about her philosophy on romance, her own person voice, and the nature of blogging. 

Nick Katers: Thank you so much for speaking with me.  What was your motivating force for beginning your own blog?

Christina: Honestly, I started blogging because I was bored. I had a crappy job in retail and I was waiting to get my first "adult" job in my field and I was feeling particularly bored with life. I needed to do something creative. And writing has always been something I loved to do. My first experience with reading blogs was during the presidential election in 2004 when I read political blogs everyday. I had a lot of down time working in retail and I discovered some personal blogs about dating and being single and I thought, "Hey, I could do that." I've never read much chick lit, but I found the confessional nature of personal blogs to be very fulfilling. I loved political blogs, but I'm not nearly obsessed enough to write one of my own. I am, however, the official expert on my own life.
