To Blog or not to Blog. . .

Okay, I've heard (or read) that writer's need to have a web presence and a blog is the best way to accomplish this. Phooey. Don't believe that for a sec., but something appeals to me about the (somewhat) daily entry to a base of operations. I've been doing this for some time in longhand, and I believe that's the best way to do it. (Julia Cameron's idea in The Right to Write).

However, the beauty of a blog is the organization of it. No transfering to a notebook, it's always easy to read and you don't have any scratch-outs on the page. So I'm thinking that maybe I'll try this for a bit, just to see how it works out.

Expect to see in this blog:
Much discussion of writing, particularly novels
Introspection that may even help you
Life Revelations as they happen

Don't expect to see:
Discussion of cars, mechanical things, science
Vulgar language
Animal loving nonsense (though I don't dislike animals--I just don't worship them)
