Hey dudes. I haven’t been posting much in the way of words these days, and that might be my trend for the future. I’m trying to write every day now, but not internets writing. I’ve always liked writing and I still do, but I feel like this format impinges my content too much, a lot of the time. I was looking at my old blog which some of you might have read, most of you probably not. I liked it. It had an urgency that I don’t seem to have anymore, at least in my writing. I don’t know what it was, but one of the things may be that I wasn’t worried about who was reading it.
This isn’t about my parents reading the blog.
It’s more about that I’m worried about who might read this, who might know my identity and not employ me, find dirt on me, whatever. It’s different than the old early glory days of blogging – which for me, silly enough, was only about four years ago.
Anyway, the main reason I’m not going to blog with words as much is that I want to put all of my good, dirty, personal unedited shit down in a format where I can really be free-form.
So with that I’d like to cast an open call to my once-weekly literature/art forum club that I want to start. The rules are easy: present one piece of art or literature of your own making once a week for brutal, I mean friendly, peer-review. Is anyone in? I was thinking Tuesday nights. Erich, I’m looking your way. Email me at the usual address or just comment if you’re interested.
The blog forum will always live, worry not!
It is what it is

You can always set up a blog that is password protected so that you can limit who has access to read it. I know that he blog that I am using has this ability.
-Just a thought
you just want to write dirty Lolita stories without John Ashcroft finding out.
no, i like the idea. good luck.
Tees - it's just not as fun keeping a private blog. One might as well keep a diary and lustily pine from afar, sans Ashcroft as Tommy mentioned. The one thing I will say is I don't like the new Google Blog search-by-name option.
Will - I'm down with the idea. It might actually contribute to writing something lengthier and less transient than the rut of content I'm in now.
-pipsi cola
I'm down, I'm always reading something...

You're all in, those who can't make it in person can videoconference. Tees, know how to videoconference?
I don't write and I don't have any artistic talent.(besides being the artistic one in the family) Can I bring random assignments that I've completed that I'm proud of? I painted a picture once a few years ago, can I bring that? It has a fairy on it. Very Britney. I hate the burbs, it's so uncreative.
is this really open to all? Will, are you going to wear a smoking jacket as workshop director?
I've been missing college classes like crazy lately, and as long as this gets very college-y, i.e lots of bizarre discussions with some sort of directed topic in mind, I think it's a great idea Will.
Been having lots of second thoughts about my postings lately...this IT guy at work showed me his ND football support blog (it's like a real site with real links, not just scatalogical jokes and pop culture refs) and he asked to see my blog when he saw blogger.com in my url search thing...when I scrolled down past the pic my ass, I realized I'd crossed the line.
I think I need a different forum as well. Or at least just to argue in public for argument's sake
p.s. can we maybe play scrabble there occasionally, or other word games?
p.p.s. I already wrote a lolita story in college, and I'll totally submit it for harsh attack
Can I join?
Can I be the secretary of the club? I'll write the minutes in my Notebook!
Yo, chill out Grisham. That kinda talk aint legal.
Will is from Mars, Steph is from Venus.
Get back in your cage, Dickinson!
who moved my cheese?

I thought I invented self-help?
age restricted ? handicapped acccessble ? will we be graded on these ? must be able to stand unnbowed when a rain of tomatoes are lobbed at one's pathetic ramblings ?
interesting idea. good luck.
