Blogging again.


Wow. It's been over a year since I posted anything to this blog. I guess that was about the time when my Twitter-ing began to eclipse my blogging. Twitter is addictive and too easy to use. Blogging requires thought while tweeting does not. You can already see that these sentences are short and useless; a result of too much Twitter use.

The reason for starting up blogging again is a little embarrassing. It's due to an article about the relationship between writing and thinking. However, I didn't even read this article, I skimmed it. But the gist of it was enough to make me rethink blogging vs. twittering. The writer claimed that if one doesn't write, then one doesn't have any serious thoughts. Writing certainly involves thinking and the organization of thought, so I bought this writer's claims quite quickly. I don't want to be guilty of not thinking about serious things, so I will start writing again.

So, here we go...

So glad you're blogging again! OhOh! look at the article on cursive writing, as well as the related articles. A fan of your blog !

Maybe I should cursively write my blog posts first, then type then second, and post both versions here. :)

You know, it actually gave me a warm fuzzy feeling to see your cursive writing . Unlike reading text (which LOOKS the same from everyone) your writing is personal and is part of your character, no one else's. Just as long as you blog more regularly though, (which of course needs to be text)will be great! Maybe you can write letters to me, to nanny, etc so you can continue to use cursive with all its positive results (according to those articles).
