I just love coming here to be prodded into thinking.
When I started blogging it was to fill the void left by closing my weekly column space in the local paper. It has evolved into a participation in the ongoing conversation of the blogosphere. Comments expressing surprise at finding that fellow bloggers are “real” people always make me chuckle. We really show up in our jammies or robes or sweats, clutching our mugs of tea or coffee, ready to be enchanted, inspired, enraged, entranced, excited, educated, and to respond to comments on our own work. Blogging is more than a spectator sport – it requires attention and participation. It’s more inclusive than a book club or a coffee klatch, as informative as a classroom, and definitely more interactive than watching TV. I don’t believe it needs defending. It just needs all of us showing up!
