Bloggers encourage others to blog, as if we nonbloggers are missing out on an interesting and intimate conversation, as if being an involved blog reader is to get only half the story. I have resisted as a natural naysayer will resist - default answer no - I have resisted as a writer who rarely writes for public consumption - I am a writer whether I publish or not - I have resisted adding another bill to my pile and another chore to my to do list, one that I can then ignore and feel bad about.
But - a friend offered me the opportunity to take a blogging class and the class turned out to be taught by another friend, and part of the class is - you guessed it - creating a blog ..... so - here I am.
So - screw my courage to the sticking post and get over myself - and begin the conversation...
