archival screed
Today I just realized that I have blog entries scattered over five years.
Wow.
Of course, that sounds more impressive than it really is. I blogged for exactly 11 days in 2004, and 2008 is still in its infancy. But still. That's a lot of blog posts. Do I regret spending so much time on it? That would be an unqualified no, friends and neighbors. Through the blog I have made acquaintances, contacts, and even friends I would never have met otherwise. It's worked out pretty good.
A line from my first blog post:
...a true writer is never daunted by such miniscule obstacles as non-existent readership.
True then and now. Of course, I am reminded of another quotation from something I did not write:
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Good advice, really.
