I keep intending to turn the "Chronicles" into a "slice of life" journal sort of blog and then imagining some person I don't know well who might not particularly like me---harmless as I am---finding out about it through some well-intentioned well-wisher of mine. And reading it.
SO, A LINK TO MY MOST RECENT UPDATES TO "THE FLATLAND CHRONICLES...."
Real writers can't afford to worry about that sort of thing, but bloggers who view blogging as a fun and fulfilling hobby had damn well better worry about it. There are some things I'm just not prepared to put on the line. But I wish I had the freedom (and the courage).
Partly I'm inhibited by the views of Nick and some of my other friends about what one of my friends refers to as "self-referential bloggers." One friend is fond of reading aloud in a sneering tone from two or three blogs she's targed as particularly egregious examples of this. And while I shouldn't let this deter me, it does, it does.
Anyway, some thoughts on this subject and on blogging generally in The Flatland Chronicles. I manage to tie it all in to Laurie Anderson and William S. Burroughs, which I think is pretty good going.
