Maybe thinking I could blog on this blog regularly was a little ambitious?
I am gonna try again, though. There is something that makes me feel not as open writing on my other blog…it’s a great blog, and I love it, but it is not my place.
Since beginning my foray into freelance writing (blog writing that is) I have come to see it as a sort of resume or business card. There are people who I work for or work with that follow it, and since the topic is weddings, well, sometimes that just takes the wind right out my sails. Don’t get me wrong, I love weddings, but now that my work is writing about them (dear god let me write about something else some day) it gets a little lonely. Having to work so hard to keep networked (through said blog and the 9th circle of hell, twitter) in hopes that I will get more work and maybe even (be still my heart) write a piece for a publication, things get to feeling less like me and more like my workface. Work I enjoy, but work nonetheless.
Then I came across an old friend’s blog, and was inspired. When we knew each other, she was a big reader and great writer…and still is. Her blog is thoughtful, compelling and totally her. Which made me think.
This blog was started when A and I moved to LA, (and then back again) and reading back over it, it is nice to hear me – even if that me is a mess still trying to figure things out, and no one really was listening, except during our cross country foibles.
So I am taking the link to that other blog off this one, and am going to try and keep things separate. Not necessarily secret, since what am I doing writing about it on the interwebs then? But maybe a place where I can put things down?
We’ll see. I make no promises.
