Lying on the couch lately, dealing with a healthy sickness, I've had time to poke around a bunch of my friends' blogs (and blogs of folks I know only virtually). A lot of them are totally random. Several are very personal, almost like journals, and a few incorporate sharing links and photos in a really amusing way.
So, I've been trying to take this "blog" seriously enough that I only post essays I've spent some time with. Essays I've thought about and re-written until I'm not embarrassed to share them.
But, it was really fun reading everyone's stuff. So, instead of being ruled by that old "I refuse to do what everyone else is doing because it means it's totally uncool!" rule that I sometimes fall prey to, I'm going to just post blog entries as they come to me. If people choose to read it, that's great! If not, that's sad, but okay. It's better for me if I post *something* rather than wait around until I've taken the time to do it "well." My apologies in advance for how navel-gazing this is likely to be.

PS A handful of blogs I've enjoyed from the couch include: http://blackgirlinmaine.wordpress.com/ http://grapes2dot0.blogspot.com/ http://www.towse.com/blogger/blog.htm http://paula-light.blogspot.com/
PPS For those of you receiving posts via email, please let me know if you'd like to be removed now that there will likely be many more posts (and many lacking much substance). :-)

Durn it. I'm trying to set up an LJ feed so that I can read you more easily on my flist. But it's not letting me. Am glad that you'll be posting more regularly. I post most often about mundanity, though I do occasionally post something I actually work on. I think both work.
I find its easier to blog when I just write. I use my blogging as a way to write in a freeform fashion. Sometimes it inspires me to write on a deeper level outside the blog.
Good luck with your blogging.
Good idea. But do it because you enjoy it. That's the only reason that makes any sense. If you don't enjoy it, nobody else will.
I agree with Grapes and am looking forward to your spontaneous bloggery.
