Becoming Less Religious, but Remaining Loosely Devoted
For the first couple of years, I averaged 15 blog-entries a month. From June-December, 2009, I averaged eight entries a month. I don't know how many I'll average in 2010, but I do know that this blog has been a good, intimate friend to me all along.
It's where I come to:
- Figure out what I'm thinking
- Learn what I'm feeling
- Re-live experiences that felt poignant to me through writing about them
- Write and self-publish.
Since discovering Twitter,
I post tweets nearly daily and like having to practice brevity. A friendly colleague offered that Twitter can deplete my soul by shifting me from the more reflective blog arena to the necessarily superficial micro-blogosphere. Her warning scared me for awhile, but as I look at my tweets, I think she's only half-right. Yes, some of them are relatively mindless, but considered altogether, I think they make a mostly sweet collection of my personality. Here is a year's worth:
