I said there would be rants....

I don't want to come across as mean or unkind in any way, but after reading a few blogs recently, i began to wonder if people who are starting up these new fashion blogs really do get the whole concept of a blog.
Are people just starting up fashion blogs because they think they should just have them? Or even worse, because they hope they will get noticed and offered some grand, high paying job? I wrote a bit about this in my dissertation because i found it really interesting.
I only started my own blog in January, after wanting to for a while. I wanted to start it to document things that inspire me, write about my thoughts and feelings on everything including fashion, art, music, and just a little bit of my personal life. I want to keep up with it so that in two years, when i look back, i can see the progression of things that have inspired me, and how projects--and my life--have come on.
Yes, i would like people to read it, mainly friends and family and even tutors....I just want them to see that i am not just a 2D student; I am interested in things they may not have thought i would be. I have dreams i want to fulfill, things i want to do. Just because i don't shout the loudest, doesn't mean i have nothing to say.
I felt like i needed to start this blog. I felt like it would help me become more organized, develop my writing skills, and give me an outlet to vent my feelings and ideas. Sort of like a scrapbook or notebook. And so far i am really enjoying it. Part of me almost doesn't want anyone to find it, or follow it because writing a blog is kind of like being naked in front of a crowd...you're writing about your passions and ideas and things that inspire you and hoping that if anyone does see it, that they will find it interesting and like it.
So, back to what i was saying...I just wondered whether some people realize that the whole concept of a blog, particularly a fashion blog, is to write the entries yourself, conveying your own thoughts and opinions, and not to just copy and paste text from other blogs or websites. Or at least credit the website/blog you got the text from, as it is not your own work and it just doesn't make sense to make it look as if it is.....I've already read the review of the show on Topshop's blog, why do i want to read it and see the same pictures, in the same layout, again? Again, i don't want to come across as a horrible person--i'm not. I just get frustrated sometimes.
I wish people would see i've got so much more to offer than just what they outwardly see. But at the end of the day, i have confidence in myself and my goals for the future. Sometimes i just need to have a good vent!
