Re: 20sb Best Male Blogger

I totally nominated you.

I don’t follow a whole lot of literary blogs. I read the Quill & Quire to keep up on publishing news but I don’t go to blogs for my literary meals. Yet, you drew me in from the very beginning. So, whatever you do, keep doing it. Quitting would be a sad day for the internet.

I’m feeling blog fatigue as well. But I did at this time last year. As, I think, did you. Maybe it’s the time of year that makes you feel this way.

I have to be honest..there are days I log on to “check” on you via the blog and when it is left to writing I feel you are having a good day…when it is personal I assume it is an escape and a way to purge

follow you heart love…it never fails you

Love,
Momma

If your brain keeps tilting you one way, I feel there’s a reason for that. Why hold yourself back? Sure, you intended this site for a particular purpose, but things change. No point in forcing yourself to do something that your internal structure is not driving you to do.

But I’m biased as I prefer the personal posts.

Quitting… for some reason, it’s just never really occurred to me. If it stops being fun, I surely will… but I just love the idea of having such a cool record of everything that’s happened over these oh-so-important years.

Nico, et al.: Maybe so, that it is about writing by default, but it’s honestly contrary to my views on the author. I ramble on saying you should know little about me, then spill my guts. I suppose because I consider most of you my friends it’s different.

I appreciate all the compliments. And I can’t wait for the day I get to pay you all back.

Kristan: Best Male Blogger, really? I didn’t know I was on anyone’s radar.

Yeah, I know as a blogger I am inevitably biased, but I think nicopolitan hit it dead on.

That said, I totally tire of my blog sometimes. There are some days where it’s all I want to do, and some days where I think “Why on Earth am I wasting my time with this?” and I have to sit on my hands to keep from deleting the whole thing. So it’s a feeling I sympathize with.

Ultimately, I’m sticking it out (for various reasons), so don’t feel bad or wasteful if you do too. We’re both gonna make it as writers no matter what we blog or don’t blog.

It always happens to me too.

I wanted to have a blog about being a classical musician, about playing the flute in a digital world, and about all the things that I think about or don’t think about in terms of daily practice. Etc.

And then I wanted to have a blog about being a triathlete and a bookworm turned athlete. Etc.

But both times, all times, I end up spouting my thoughts and frustrations and sometimes they have to do with the topic at hand, but more often than not, I go much deeper than I had originally intended.

But maybe that’s good.

Because who wants the surface crap anyhow?

For whatever it’s worth, I like your blog as is… but I’m sure I’ll like it in it’s next form too.
