I feel lucky when I can put two ideas together coherently that don't have anything to do with children. Someday.... It’s been so long since I’ve written a real essay, I’m not sure I’d know how anymore. I feel lucky when I can put two ideas together coherently that don’t have anything to do with children.

I've even attempted writing on this subject before. You do a much better job. Is it tacky to post a link to my post? Well, here it is anyway. http://segullah.org/cjane-speaks/segullah-my-mentor/ Just thought you'd know that your post here resonated with me. Shelah, I know just what you mean.

Just wait for lazy people like me to formulate thoughts and comment on them. :-) No, silly, don’t stick your potential essays up on the blog.

It's done and then buried in an archive never to be read beyond maybe a 3 day stretch? I love the essays I have written in the past they feel more timeless.

But I've read your "real" writing in our last issue, and you're very gifted, even if that gift doesn't always come easily. Les-- I love what you say about finding people through blogging. Like so many of the social networking avenues on the internet, I credit blogging with lots of friendships. The feedback factor of blogs is really great that way. Emily-- I find that I blog less or less thoughtfully because some of the things I used to blog about I now find myself "saving" for essays. Then I never write the essays. Or I write them and don't get feedback, which makes me think I should just stick them up on the blog anyway. Dalene-- I love the ability to constantly edit on blogs too. I didn't use it all that much at first, but sometimes I'll just read what I've posted over and over (usually while waiting for the comments to ring in) and pick at words and phrases I could make better. I think that Segullah has done that for me, because I used to overlook all but the most glaring spelling mistakes and just let it be. And based on the essays I've read that you've written, I think you do a great job balancing both genres. Courtney-- you have such great material for Mommy Blogging. I'm so glad that you're keeping it up. Laura– I know where you’re coming from.
