Just Kidding

I would never really leave this blog or start another one. Self deprecation and overwhelming humility would never permit me to strike out on my own. Not to mention that I have few ideas at this point and would just flounder out there and disappear into the cavernous interwebs.

Truth be told I've always wanted to have a blog, but convincing Terry to play along with me was key. I wanted him to be the anchor while I explored my own ideas, and it has been beneficial for both parties to this point, although I have been afraid to disrupt my co-author's literary style with my wacky, new-age ideas. Besides, I've always relied on a good bit of collaboration and truly enjoy the camaraderie.

The problem is that it's scary out here. To share ideas or your own private thoughts or memories or opinions is terrifying. Every time I hit publish I'm nervous. And the problem with that is that I'm always worried about what readers will think. When you worry about what readers will think you try to cater to them, and the second that happens you're not in your own head anymore, you're in theirs. Your ideas will never really come out and you will never find out if they are any good.

But camaraderie or a sense of uniformity on this blog be damned. It's time for some new stuff.
