When you start a blog, you think a lot about what you want to write about and what you don’t want to write about. I know I want to write about writing because I think a lot about it. It obsesses me. I don’t want it to be just the surface stuff, the usual questions. I want it to go deeper. All the stuff you talk about late at night while drinking with your writing buddies or around a conference table at a workshop or in essays on craft.
I know I don’t want this blog to be about publishing, or only peripherally. I’m equally passionate about my family and what they’re doing, but I like my privacy and I think they probably do too, so it won’t be about that much either.
I think it will also be about ideas, since I’m fascinated with those too.
Speaking of which, if you’re not familiar with it, go immediately to the TED site (Technology, Entertainment, Design ~ www.ted.com) and watch some of the videos. Do it now (but don't let your boss catch you). It’s fabulous. Ideas that make you look at the world differently. I’ve spent full weekends watching these videos.
