When my friend Danielle asked me if I had a weblog my first question was “why?” When she replied “Well, I want to read it and link to you” it honestly kinda freaked me out.
Then my friend Gillo dropped me a comment about installing categories. Gillo…I shouldn’t be surprised. He shines bright lights into the most interesting, undiscovered corners on the internet. The enviable thing is, he gets paid to do it.
Now that I’ve tracked-back to Dykewrite for Bitch About Your Job Week there is a possibility that other folks may wander by. So why does this freak me out so much? I mean, after all, if it’s on the internet, it’s findable.
This thing started out as an experiment for me. Techno-challenge to see if I could play with Movable Type (which I confess, I did not install myself), extroversion (is that even a word?) challenge for someone who is incontrovertably an introvert. It was a bit of a half-assed challenge, though, because I did nothing to promote myself.
Now, I find that I’ve got friends who are actually reading the damn thing and I have to wonder, is it going to affect how I write? Is it going to affect what I write?
I don’t know. All I know is, I’m now addicted to the damn thing. I like writing here. Maybe someone will like reading it eventually. Maybe I’ll even make it easier to find…some day.
