the problem with publicity

OK, so I seem to be woefully neglecting to blog on here.  It’s not that I don’t have anything to write, I do.  It’s just that I’m finding that I’m having to censure myself a lot.  Obviously people who know me can find this blog (’cause like, dur, it’s got my name in it), so I can’t say anything about people I know, or my job, or anything like that.  It’s just hugely liable to do something like that.

So the only things I can think of to write about is my writing, but then now I tend to find myself actually writing, rather than actually talking about it.  So I think my opportunities here are to either turn this into less of a blog, and more of a website.  Or I need to find something I can write about that isn’t going to get me into a mountain of trouble.

  1. I know what you mean. Lately I’ve felt as though I need to be careful what I post on my blog just in case someone I know stumbles across it – it kind of defeats the object of having a personal blog because now I don’t feel as though I can really be myself in my posts.

    • I’ve actually got another blog, that’s secret just so I can write the things that I really want to write in the blog. I’m just really torn between turning this into a portfolio site or one where I write stuff about what I do. There’s also the possibility that I could do a bit of a mashup of all of them. Kinda hard to decide what I want to do with it.

      The thing with mine is that I use the email address with it, so anyone (not that they do – I’m not actually that interesting), seems to bother looking. Hmmm… I either need to use it more for my writing, or for work stuff. ho-hum.
