What Kind of Word Is Blogging?

What kind of a word is "blogging," anyway?

It sounds clumsy and heavy,  even brutal, like "flogging." It does a rather poor job of conveying the sensation a fast typist might have as her nimble fingers fly over the keyboard, though it's possible a hunt-and-peck writer might imitate the thudding effect the word conveys. 

Nor does "blogging" convey the feeling the reader has as the writer's words enter the brain--the first syllable gives us "blah," after all, which isn't very promising.

I don't think I like the word "blogging."  Question is, will I like doing it?  Further, will anyone read what I write?  And, if not, is this exercise just another (yawn) example of mental masturbation?

We'll see if I ever try it again...make that I'll see. 

What or who you might be, at this point, is wrapped in mystery.

Ahhh....there might be some charm in this enterprise after all.

On with the show...

I have a novel that's just been released. It belongs (I think) in a genre called paranormal romantic suspense, but that still doesn't cover it, because some really hot button topics, like paternity deception and reproductive choices, are probed, and there is more than a dose of high society satire. 

The title is HOME SCHOOLING: The Fire Night Ball.  Check my Facebook page or my personal webpage for details.  Or just type the title into the Amazon Search box, and you'll find the listing, along with a free excerpt.  It's the first in a trilogy, so all thoughts, questions, and even accusations are welcome.
