Self-centered blogging
I think I'm a very self-centered blogger.
Nancy's blog is about "cooking, eating and enjoying life with my boyfriend." So far this blog (all two posts) is all about me.
I don't know why that is. Is it a guy thing? Is it because blogging is about taking the random, messy thoughts that are swirling around in your head and committing them (irrevokably*) to the internet?
I think there's a somewhat famous quote about writing best being done alone in a room, like other antisocial behaviours. But I can't find the quote.
(*) Anything that gets published to the internet is likely to end up stored on some computer somewhere till the end of time. Internet information is both ephemeral and enduring; and usually which aspect is dominant is the inverse of what you want.
