Blogging. I love it and I hate it too. Well, I can't say I hate it but it perplexes me to some degree.
My question is, do any of us have an original thought anymore? Google is a case in point, type almost anything into the search bar and Google will find what you are looking for in most cases or at least determine what you are looking for. Isn't that amazing?
Check out your local Barnes & Noble or Borders stores, you find hundreds and thousands of books on every conceivable subject. There is no way you can read them all of course, but if you glance into a few, you can glean some info or ideas from the writing. That info stays with you, if you use it someday, can it be considered an original idea anymore?
I am an information junkie. I cannot get enough of it, no matter the subject. But what should I do with it? I need to share it but am I plagiarizing? Such a perplexing thought.
I expect I'll keep writing and sharing. If I ever use a thought or phrase that you might have heard before, well, just go with it.
Perplexing.
