Tell Me What You Think?

Dec 11, 2009 14:21

I've been thinking that I want to write about what's important and interesting to me. "Write whatcha know", they always say. I'd like to write a blog, and maybe a book about spirituality, atheism and my search for g0d. I'd like your opinion on a) whether you think people would find that interesting and b) whether you think I have the ability to ( Read more... )

Hi! Can't imagine you as a devout anything, let alone a strong evangelical Christian - but hey, we've all got a past ( ... )

Thanks so much for taking the time to read a long post, and replying. You're the only one so far, but it's a busy time of year.

Yeah - it's not everyone's cup of tea. I am thinking and planning, and it might end up being somewhat like this blog. I think people want to "connect" with someone, so blogging about the movie I went to or the meal I burned is also helpful.

Having said that I'm also scared about making my own life public property. I am intensely private in many ways.

Oh, and I would be blogging plenty about atheism too, so it's not just about religion.

Thanks! You rock. Might interview you about being a non-religious Jew in the modern world ;)

I think you have the skills to write it, but it's not the sort of thing people comment on that much. But it's your journal, and I'm a proponent of writing for yourself rather than your audience.

I've had a few comments from non LJ people. I may add them in at some point. Most of them say "yes, write it, you write well but i'm not sure how many will find it interesting"

Comment! I have read this but didn't have a chance to comment before now. I'd read it. But in the same context as clubcat's third and fourth paragraph between different committments taking up my time....

thanks grrrrl. Your opinion is valued.

Actually, I'd probably like to interview you about how you see your spiritual path.
