Hello readers, writers, friends, family, former students, strangers ...
Welcome to my blog.
Let me say right off the bat that I have resisted to a large extent doing a personal blog (I've contributed to blogs as a graduate student and I've used them as a teacher in class myself). At times, it seems like the world is saturated with blogs and perhaps the sarcastic New England writer side of me bought too much into the attitude expressed in the snappy line uttered by a character in the movie Contagion that "blogging is not writing. It's graffiti with punctuation."
Naturally, other bloggers have already chewed over that piece of dialogue.
But of course, I understand that it's more than that. It's like anything else, really ... if done well, it's an art form all its own, and I've seen enough outstanding blogs over the years.
