Day three-hundred-sixty-five

I didn't have any plans for this last post, so I decided to go back and look at my very first post. Wow.

Here's something I wrote that now strikes me as very ironic:

"I want to speak plainly to whoever chooses to read what I write. I want to share things that are genuinely interesting to read, and for me, things that are genuinely interesting to write about. My one rule is 'If I wouldn't read about it, I won't write about it.' "

I'm struck by that last sentence, as there is so much that I've written that is so boring to read that I can't bring myself to go back and read it. I guess I didn't stick with my original plan, but only The Lord knows how things would've been if I had. Would I have continued if I stuck to "the one rule" too stringently? Only God knows.

What can I possibly say about this blog? It's been one year-long experiment for me, an experiment in diligence, in writing and reporting faithfully, and it's been an opportunity to express myself in a way that I didn't have before. All in all, it's been a big plus for me. I want to thank those of you who've hung in with me through this whole thing, and I hope you'll follow me to the next blog, which should be starting soon.

When the next blog gets started, I want to try some different things, like doing more reviews or writing about issues that are meaningful to me.

Okay, let's put this blog to bed.
