I am a blogger - that is an amazing thing for me, because it captures a moment in time every day.

Everyone has this perception that the bloggers, they say horrible things about you and they hide behind their computers where you can't see them.

I'm terrible at posting regularly; I don't deserve the blog success!

I know it's dangerous to take on bloggers. They can go after you every day, all day long, and anonymous people can chime in, too.

My blog is a celebration of the unexpected, settled, happy life I find myself living in Portland, Maine, at the ripe old age of fifty with someone I deeply love and am very happy with. That's part of why I started the blog.

It's been so amazing. I've always struggled with this barrier that I felt like I'd had up until blogging came along. Just one comment from somebody really sparks something in me. It doesn't need to be this huge war between me and the listeners anymore. I really thrive on that.

A curious thing about this rarefied world is that bloggers are almost unfailingly contemptuous toward everyone except one another.

I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That's why I really try to get my blogs, and even myself, to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.

Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.
