Trying this out
Jun 4th, 2005 by Accidental Thinker
I haven’t the foggiest idea what makes a good blog, but everyone else seems to be doing it, so I figured I’d give it a try too. Yes, I’m jumping on the bandwagon. But I’m not telling anyone. Not yet, anyway. I have to get comfortable with this idea first, and experiment with what I’m willing to write about that other people may see. Maybe I’ll share it someday, and maybe I won’t. It depends very much on how I end up using this thing. Mostly I’m hoping that this type of format will give me the motivation and discipline to do more personal writing. About anything. I actually write quite a lot (and quite well, judging from the response of colleagues and clients) in my professional capacity, but that’s a completely different type of technical writing beast.
So whoever you are, if you were invited by me (or somehow found this on your own), you have the good fortune (or misfortune) of sharing in the inner workings of my brain. That’s kind of scary! I have to get used to this idea of writing for public consumption.
