Something about posting my most private journal thoughts (currently in a composition notebook stuffed in a drawer) can't quite translate to cyberspace yet. Blogging gets me closer, but knowing someone else owns or hosts my thoughts, in a sense, is not the transition I'm ready to make. Perhaps everyone who uses it stays more superficial?<br /><br />I've known since I read <i>The Diary of Anne Frank</i> as a child that journals were a sacred, solitary space. I think Anne inspired the child I was to get a diary and start telling my secrets. I write only when the spirit moves me (but that's pretty often) and wouldn't want someone stumbling on it. Yet, I remember as a child being perfectly comfortable with someone publishing my most private thoughts someday, for the edification of others. So maybe I'm not so uncomfortable with the "public" nature of this space. Maybe it's all in the timing of when it's released?<br /><br />It's a lot easier to deal with controversy and criticism when you're dead. :-)<br /><br />LynLyn Fairchild Hawkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13308501118724743991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14016238.post-22970163076487056422012-01-17T06:57:13.746-05:002012-01-17T06:57:13.746-05:00Hi,
