Brklyn Stories   poses the question and answers it in a personal way. She describes her blog as a resource for residents of Kensington as well as
comments on cultural events within Greater New York and elsewhere. Here’s an excerpt:

The question might seem redundant but sometimes a reflection helps,
especially since blogging risks getting weighed down by negative
entries, forcing many to ask, "What’s the point?" But better yet, why
the negativity? These wavering doubts caused me to postpone opening a
blog for almost a year. This is ironic since I’m an art critic, so you
would think I would be used to taking artists and their ideas to task
quite frequently. Au contraire. Writing and, in this case blog writing,
is still a creative process. Pejorative trains of thought are very easy
to slip into, but unfortunately they are not progressive since it is
very hard to utilize another one’s emotions for anything useful.

Blogs are like photographs. Each is a digital document, in literary and
pictorial form, that attempts to capture the here-and-now moment of our
lives. The free access and exchange of ideas is by and large priceless.
In Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, it was clear that society was missing something very deep down and his adventure brought it all back.
