So why in the world have I created two new blogs? Well, I love the idea of having a blog to keep family and friends up-to-date on my daily events, but I want to do more with my blog, like use it as a spot to write, reflect, ponder, and delve into issues that only I am probably interested in. And the other blog is a semi-professional blog - after reading some I have decided that blogging is a great way to share information between colleagues and other people in one's field. So I have a "practical" blog, much like a daily journal of activities, a semi-professional blog, to do my professional reflections (Karen would be proud!), and this is my writing blog, a place for me to wax lyrical or just plain put up random thoughts, without having to put my family through the painful experience of what's going through my head...
