Some Things I Should Have Thought About Sooner.

I'm geting a little fed up of my blog already, for several reasons.

Firstly, it takes too long.

Secondly, it's hard to get the tone right. After my first couple of posts (couple meaning anything between two and four in this case) I considered changing the title to "Conversations I wish I'd had". It's dawning on me that the reason that I write these things and don't discuss them is that they're either too flippant or too indulgent for anyone to put up with for too long.

Thirdly, it's hard to get the depth right. Unless your sole purpose is to be entertaining, then keeping a blog requires a certain level of honesty, which is hard to attain when you always have at the back of your mind the knowledge that anyone could be reading your blog. And it's not the idea of strangers reading it that bothers me.

This evidently requires some more thought. But not today. It's stopped raining now.
