What IS the point?
I have finally figured out that the reason I have a hard time making a journal entry is I am still somewhat unsure about this online journalling/blogging thing - I find it hard to believe that my thoughts or opinions may be of interest to people out there who don't know me. I do understand that they are terribly important to my friends, but really, why would anyone else care? And yet I am myself interested in the musings of a number of people I have either never met or seen/heard briefly at filk cons and so forth, or whose books I enjoy, so therefore the difference is that I have not written books or music or created other art so consider myself to be less interesting.
Except to the cats, who are devoted to my every move if it might be in the direction of food....
On the other hand, I want to get to know people in the filk community and become more involved, and this seems like a good venue for that. If I only lurk around reading other people and never posting I will not really become part of the community (plus feeling a little creepy!) so I will post a bit here and there when I feel I have something to say, and see how it goes. Based on past behaviour, I may become addicted to wittering on about myself and become completely insufferable, but if no one reads me it won't matter!
Must now go feed starving starving cats....
