I have to admit, this is easier than I thought it would be. I don't follow any blogs except occasional peeks at a political one at msnbc.com. I used to follow Eric Alterman every day, but his site moved and I got busier and sort of forgot about him. I do recall thinking him to be brilliant - I should probably hunt him down and see what he is writing about these days. A friend from college that I recently rediscovered on facebook has a blog called WriteMuch, but I confess I have never checked it out. I know she has published at least one book, about her summers on the beach at Nags Head as a child. Since she writes about writing, I should probably have a look.
I have a sort of "equivalent to a blog" thing going with a group of my oldest friends. We email all of us several times a week and we all chime in and comment on what's going on in each others' lives. Sort of like facebook but not open to the universe. Our annual garden party is coming up July 15 - the event of the season, and summer school will be over!
If you and your friends posted your comments on a blog, you could keep it private, and then have a collection of your discussions all in one place. You can even add photos. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteHey! That is a good idea! I can show them how easy it is at the garden party! I hate deleting our old emails and sorting through to try to save the few with the most threads of conversation from everyone - the blog sounds much simpler and noone's email would get clogged up.
