In the two years since I stopped writing here I started writing almost daily at my cosmetics blog Claire’s Beauty. In the last six months I’ve become a total Twitter-aholic. I blame my phone.
Last October, I bought a T-Mobile G1, the Android phone that does everything except bring me breakfast in bed. It comes with apps. Like… Twitter apps. A real browser. An IM client…
So I started using Twitter regularly and now have to re-learn how to write properly using more than 140 characters. Also, I tend to tweet as my cats more than as myself, so I also have to learn to stop writing in semi-lolspeak. Life is tough, let me tell you.
I used to write here so often, and now the idea of personal blogging has become really foreign to me. I’m used to writing ABOUT something, like cosmetics, not just blathering on about what I’m doing. Do people really care? Is anyone going to read this anyway?
I know the answer, which is a sort of yes. I’ve gotten enough traffic over the years to know that people will read this. If I write something particularly interesting to a lot of people, I even get comments – years later. It’s nuts.
I hope to learn how to do this again. I always enjoyed it, and there is a lot of my own personal history recorded here. Cheers to starting again.
