A New Beginning?

The Blog Share is over. Whew! What an exciting weekend. It was a pleasure to participate. The best thing that can happen on a new adventure is having something good come out of it. A lot of good comes out of the Blog Share - people feel relieved, loved, welcomed. But also, to my happiness, something tangible appeared.

Out of the ashes of this year's Blog Share rose a new idea: an anonymous blog where a group of people can post freely about topics they'd rather not openly talk about on their own blogs. There are already many contributors.

Welcome to The Web That Is My Own.

I am a participant. The rules state that I cannot reveal which posts I wrote, nor identify the other members who participate, nor tell you which posts they wrote. Well, why would I want to? If I wanted to identify myself, I would've written on my own blog, right?

Feel free to read the posts, but do not identify me if you are tipped off by my writing style or content in a post. In fact, it would be better if you read without trying to pick me out at all. Read as though all the posts are mine, or none of them are. I have a feeling humans all boil down to the same basic matter, and that many of the posts will contain emotions and events shared by other contributors. Read them as a love letter (or hate letter) from humanity.

I think that TWTIMO (see what I did there?) is a great exercise. I hope that someday we can expand to many, many, many more contributors. Friends of friends of friends of friends. I hope we can expand. I have dreams that this will be the PostSecret of blogging, if we let it. But, let's start small. Watch us as we begin down this path.
