Warming myself at the blog fire…

I found this interesting meditation at Laughing Knees about blogging: “perhaps it is kind of latter day, secular confessional… The time that we spend spilling our hearts almost seems to be trying to make up for the years of silence we all endured as we gave up the old institutions…” He also muses on how addictive blogging becomes for writers:

What is it about blogging that gets you coming back, day after day, month after month, and probably year after year?... My hunch is that it’s fireside storytelling reborn. Where anyone round the fire can have a go. No hierarchies, no filters, no initiation process that stills the voices of those who don’t make it into some inner circle. The spreading of the word like wildfire. Minds suddenly set free.
