Hello, everyone, and thanks for the encouragement. While undoubtably narcissistic, I’ve decided to undertake my own blog (with the help of guest writers like Tina). I secured this domain about a year ago, thinking it would mask any vanity behind a veil of self-deprecation. Is it working?
I’ve been of two minds on this blogging matter for some time. On the one hand, it’s hard to imagine anyone being interested in this beyond our friends and family. On the other hand, I do love to write. And I find my job encourages sloppy writing, short e-mails and brusque discussions all fueled by the imagined urgency of daily work. Perhaps this blog will help me reconnect with my own language.
