As I try to expand and limit the words I write - expand into areas of interest like writing and limit the amount of talk-writing I do - I have been doing some reading on the topic.
A woman named Maud Newton writing in The New York Times Magazine a few years ago asked if blogging - and I guess this is a blog, right? - was more like writing or more like speech. That question has perplexed me since I read the piece; I am working on an answer. I want it to be more like writing - that is a selfish goal, I know, but there are things to be written - and I still want it to have some value to you, the reader, whoever you are. In that way, then, it would be more like speech.
Everything I do is a work in progress.
