I tended to get too personal in them, which means a bit of that complaining you mentioned would seep in, but I have found that I wouldn’t take the time to be very articulate about the actual thinking–said in another way, I wasn’t writing for an audience outside of myself. I have found blogging to be a good in between for that. The audience is totally fictional of course, and I have no idea if anyone has read anything, and I don’t really care, but it works. The amount of words ends up being pretty similar, it’s a bit more time, but I feel like the thinking is deeper, slicker, and it’s helping me find a workable voice.

Anyway, I’ve been reading you for a while now, since I got the EGGS email about CRWL presentation you did. You’ve really helped me push through and get my MA done, well, I’m almost done, but I’m not longer unsure of whether I can finish it. So THANKS! and keep it up!
