If I moved this blog back to blogger? Had website developing session
with a friend the other day. She recommended putting the "blog" for
this website up front on the first page, to keep folks abreast of
current projects etc. She suggested that my more personal blog posts
might be moved to a Tumblir account, because Tumblir is now the spot for
the random, and the "authentic,". At least that's what the kids are saying.
But
something about moving the blog I've had since 2005 to Tumblir so
people will think it's authentic feels a little inauthentic.
And
maybe so does having it linked to the site, because, although it is far
from finished--the site is really about me as a writer. It's not about
me as a cancer veteran, or me as a neurotic packer of things, or failed
wanna-be neat freak. It's not about weird shit that I see and think
about--it's not about being human--which to me, has always been the
impulse behind this blog. But it feels different next to these
other website pages, and even though I vow to myself that I'll always
be honest on my blog...I think I'm less likely to talk about a
colonoscopy, refinancing my mortgage, selling the car, daily thoughts
about writing suicide (not "real" suicide, just killing off the writer
aspect of myself, in order to live a different life.
So anyway--that may happen soon. I gotta watch some tutorials and see how to make it happen.
