Hunger

A web log does not serve the same function as a private journal. With a private journal, you're not filtering your words with concern over who's reading or how they'll react. You're not expecting anyone to comment on what you've written. The assumption is, you'll be dead by the time anyone might get a chance to read it.

With a blog, the tendency is to play to your audience of regulars. The ones who you know read. Who might feel compelled to comment. Who are likely to comment, in public or private.

Some days, it's just too damn hard to filter this blog thoroughly enough. So you end up with an entry about the inability to write an entry.

Welcome to July.
