Wherein I am a Lady Of Leisure, Day 1

You might consider putting together a "best of" for Peevish that would highlight what you are proud of there, maybe making it the permanent front page of the blog. That would at least increase your odds of them not finding what you're afraid they'll find.

That's a good idea.

Assuming, you know, that I knew how to make something stay on the front page of the blog permanently or that I had any idea what someone would consider "the best" of all of that stuff I'd written. :)

Seriously, though. Remarks like that make me uncomfortable. I am acutely aware that a lot of people put a lot more effort into their blog entries than I put into mine. Implying that I might favor some of my entries over others implies a level of effort put into the process that simply didn't exist.

I was just typing, okay? Stream of consciousness stuff.

Part of the reason I had to give up that blog was because the pressure of (my own) expectations started to weigh on me. As I read the blogs of wiser, more articulate people, I constantly saw references to them polishing entries, doing research, and generally taking the whole thing seriously. I might not know how things are supposed to be done :) but when I learn, I take it seriously.) I didn't have real time and effort to put into the blog and do it properly, so I gave it up.

I couldn't honestly tell a "good" entry from a "bad" one.

I'm not dissing your idea at all. It was a good one. It's just.... It's just that words are what happens when you pick up pen and paper or put your hands on a keyboard. Concepts of quality come in later, when you edit. I didn't edit.

I need to comment on your blog. I read it regularly but the Recent Life Psychosis got in the way of me being interactive on the internet. :)
