To do or not to do:

Morton’s Fork by Michelle W.                                                                                                           If you had to choose between being able to write a blog (but not read others’) and being able to read others’ blogs (but not write your own), which would you pick? Why?

If I had to choose between writing a blog or reading others’ blogs, I would choose writing my own. Selfishness must come with any artistic endeavor; otherwise we wouldn’t achieve anything.

That is the why, but I would miss the input of other people’s ideas. There are many posts that I really love reading and some not so much. There is never enough time to get around the huge number of fantastic posts that I haven’t yet discovered! So writing takes precedence. Blogging can be very time consuming, and if one wants to write, one must be disciplined to keep that time for writing.

Transposed but not forgotten:

Blogging has brought about a strange coincidence. Yesterday, fellow blogger, MTMcGuire, mtmcguire.co.uk/x
info@hamgee.co.uk commented from the UK after my post about returning to Devonport, Tasmania. He knew someone from Devonport in his writer’s group. I suggested it might well be a relative of mine, as everyone knows how inbred Tasmanians are.

MTM wrote back last night with the name of his friend. I couldn’t believe it. Rosemary grew up living next door to our family. Well, their lane way was, and the house was over the back fence. I have written about Rosemary’s family in ‘Enduring Threads’, though, I do have to go through it before I can print it here. Chris suggests a few name changes.

MTM, thank you for linking more threads. Life is a complex business and it’s wonderful when a thread can be teased out and joined again with the past.
