My partner and I moved out here not knowing a thing, and we're still pretty clueless.<br /><br />My offer is, well, humor, insight into rural life, and hopefully a little bit of 'if he can do that crazy stupid thing he loves, then I can do mine.' I figure the more people we see doing the thing they love, the better off we all are.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for getting me thinking about what I'm doing in new ways. Much appreciated. This is a great post, and has me really thinking about my own storytelling blog.

But if you're writing anything interesting, you can be guaranteed *somebody's* going to have a problem with it.

I had a lot of fun with my first blog (about 5 years ago now), and had a great readership. It was honest, it was funny, and it was mostly anonymous. Until I posted a snide comment about a local "celeb" one day and he emailed me the next day to ask why I didn't like him. Threw me for a loop, and I began to feel more guarded in my writing, and I eventually abandoned the blog.<br /><br />Started another one a couple years ago, and it was very personal and introspective. Not much of an offering for anyone else but me. So I abandoned that one too.<br /><br />Thinking about starting another one, and this post is very helpful. Once I have the story, the content and the offering somewhat figured out - I may dive back into blogging. Very helpful post.
