Hey, Sewell – I didn’t count you as a fellow blogger because you post so rarely. It’s great you’re starting again – I’ll be happy to give up my “lone blogger” status!

Are you truly a lone blogger? You know me, and I blog. Well, I sorta of blog. I’ll probably post a couple in the next few days. I going to start blogging regular again. It will help that I’m finally getting broadband at place I’m living at (well, until I move again). Wooohoo!

FYI, I’m sneaking this comment in from work… =)

Hi, Pamela –

I disagree with you on the point that a person can’t remain interested in something if they don’t have anyone to share it with. If you’re passionate about something, you’ll keep doing it. If you’re inspired by something, you’ll keep doing it. Heck, if you’re obsessed with something, you’ll keep doing it.

If you stop doing something because no one else shares your interest, I guess you weren’t all that interested in it in the first place.

I concede that many people find it easier to maintain an interest when it’s shared.

I agree with you that I’m not normal.

Four-foot-ten-and-three-quarter inch wine-sipping writers aren’t exactly running amok. And that’s a good thing.

The effects of blogging to Ms. Q is probably different to everybody else. I don’t think that normal people will end up like her. I guess being a lone blogger is just a quick phase of blogging. Nobody can remain being interested in something if they don’t have someone to share it with.

Brilliant! And so very true!
