Amy,

I'm just catching up on your posts. I really relate to this. I still am not sure why I blog. That's why I am so spotty about it, I guess.

But I do enjoy yours.

Amy:

Just wanted to throw in my support for your blogging habit. I don't do blogging as such but I have jumped into the forums on imdb periodically, when I feel I can actually contribute something interesting on a particular film. However, writing about my own life is sometimes not very thrilling. Sometimes it's just a problem of seeing what's thrilling in my life, focusing on it and highlighting it. I for one find your entries quite well written and compelling and an example to follow. Your entries are just about as clever and interesting as your song lyrics. Keep going, please!

yes I read gould's article. I think there is a big difference between artists like you who blog and publicity grabbing self seekers who blog for their personal vanity...although there may be a long curve with all of us on it somewhere! Bloggers are just people after all....There are some nice ones and some that you wouldnt want to get stuck in a cab with...I feel guilty about blogging too, since it is usually at the expense of something creative, but hey, I live in a country where no one speaks English...where else am I going to have conversations in my own language?

Mr/Ms Falk, you hit the nail on the head - it's not blogging that's the problem, it's my lame time management skills! (cue "new regime" that allows me to set and accomplish many goals yet leaves time for writing/reading online) - and thanks.

I'll have to visit Salon Norma, only after I've accomplished all of the days' tasks...

I recommend reading this story for another take on the Gould brouhaha: http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2008/05/29/gould/
I like this analysis, which locates the venom spewed at Gould on a long continuum of double standards (think "Hillary Clinton" - that said, I'm not voting for her, but that has nothing to do with her sex). It's a thoughtful article.

As a long-time fan and recent blog "lurker", I say, keep up the blogging! While it is important to keep track of what you do with your time (like, um, what am I doing here when I should be finishing up my work for the night?) and safeguarding privacy can be an issue, there are many good things about blogging. In your case, it can attract people to your website since there's always something new, so there's even a business reason :-)

Seriously, did Samuel Pepys beat himself up for spending too much time on his diaries? (Maybe he did.)

Anyway, here's one reader hoping you keep it up (and keep producing great music too)
