Why Not

It occurred to me recently that I should write in a blog, not because everyone else is doing it, nor because I have some really profound insights to share, but merely because I seem to be better on paper than I am in person. Hey, that may not be saying much, but it's something. Coincidentally, a friend showed me his blog this week that he'd been writing for three months. While it is overwhelmingly apparent that he has plenty to say, what my contribution to the world of online literature will be remains to be seen. Maybe writing this blog will make me a better writer. Or maybe this space will become just another bit of litter on the garbage-laden information stupor highway.
