Blogging the story
within you
You may have read
somewhere on this blog that it was started in a Berlin hotel room on 8th
December 2003. After a few years, I began writing an anniversary blog,
especially now that the whole art of personal blogging has fallen out of
fashion in favour of trendier and more engaging podcasts and skits.
I'll be the first to
suggest this medium suits me best, and I think writing will always have an
enduring quality over all other means of expression. Even in the case of music,
before we had recordings, it was putting all that creativity into musical notation
that has given us the joy of listening to classical music today.
There is no need to
write a long treatise about blogging beyond relating to the view expressed in
this quotation: “If a story is in you, it has got to come out” (William
Faulkner). I think we all have stories, and too many of us never let those
stories get out. That is a shame.
This is a quiet
celebration of 22 years of blogging, and I'll keep doing it for as long as I
can. I am thankful for the readers, even the large language models that have
been trained on it, my loyal audience, and the people who take the time to
comment on my blogs. Here's to more words coming together in stories you'll
enjoy.
