this blog, a note

It’s a matter of weeks, days, before I give up this blog, which is no longer serving me, at least not in the way I intended. I hoped to find my voice. I haven’t done that and I don’t feel closer to doing that. Perhaps it is when I stop looking that I will finally find it

In October, I will start a new blog with a homeschooling theme, mostly as a way of tracking what learning is happening around here. I’ve decided to center my life around homeschooling for the next bit of time. Eventually I want to start another general blog, less a journal and more a place to talk about work. I think revealing bits and pieces of one’s life is nice, I think blog readers appreciate it, and I can’t imagine writing without this personal angle. But no one wants to read anyone’s journal, not unless they’ve connected to that person on another level. I don’t mind the occasional journal entry, the outpouring of the heart, so to speak, but I only have interest in reading the journals of people who are engaged in similar pursuits, or struggles, or of people whose work or writing I admire/respect. Anais Nin excepted.
