the lawyer friend's partner (lfp). Just the two of us. Lawyer friend is on the east coast. We went to a 20 yr favorite place of mine - my hideout - and chatted about blogging.
Blogging is such a weird activity, when you think about it.
Are you writing for you, audience be dammed, or are you writing for a following?
What if nothing happens that day? Or if you only like posting 1-2 entries/ day, what if a lot happens?
How anonymous, that is, how descriptive should you be? Lively descriptions and observations make for good reading, but it makes it easy for the real life people to find themselves. Then if an entry is heartfelt - when the word gets out, klablam! Actually, if a blog gets big enough, that issue gets a little easier. Imagine pawing through 502 entries of mine to get to the 1 entry that I skewer you. Just ignore that search button. Please.
And on top of that, it does take a certain strange dogged quality to keep these logs up.
At the end, I bought, which is why I logged in a $20 lunch. lfp will have my back at the next lunch.
