It’s a day late, but better late than never. The Friday Five
1. Explain why you started to journal/blog.
It originally started as a journal, and then I decided to have a writing blog of sorts, devoted purely to my writing. Eventually it just turned into this, and I can’t imagine giving it up.
2. Do people you interact with day to day or family members know about your journal/blog? Why or why not?
I try not to advertise it, especially to my family. They’d freak if they found out how much of a liberal I am. Either that or the occasional potty mouth I have developed over the years that tends to rear its ugly head in a few of my entries. Hey, it’s good to be colorful. I have told a few friends from real life, and I know they read it.
3. Do you have a theme for your journal/blog?
Like I said, it was originally intended for my writing experiments, but it morphed into something bigger. When I feel like it, I try to make each and every post an artistic endeavor. It doesn’t mean I’m always successful.
4. What direction would you like to have your journal/blog go in over the next year?
I’m not sure I want to post anymore of my poetry or short fiction here, but I’d like to keep the rest the same. Maybe have a little bit more on social commentary and the law. Then again my blog wouldn’t be the same without my Buffy/Angel/Faith ravings. A girl’s got to have her obsessions. Next time on Oprah: Buffy addicts change the world…. by dominating it and renaming Washington DC to The Hellmouth.
5. Pimp five of your favorite journals/blogs.
Now see, that wouldn’t be fair. I can’t categorize them from best to worst. The list is on the right and they’re all my favorites.
