If a tree falls in the forest.....

If you write a blog but no one reads it, are you a writer?

I have a keen interest in putting thoughts on a page, but I'm not sure I want anyone to notice. I think I'll wait until I'm either witty or wise and then let it slip that I have a blog. I was thinking by the time I hit my 50's I would be witty or wise or both. Perhaps not. Perhaps you have to be 60 before wisdom blooms.

Until then, I'm sending the link to one of my best friends, who has expressed a desire to write but lamented the lack of opportunity. Here's the challenge to my friend. Write and I will read it.

Oh my gosh!!! I have just read the entire blog and tears are streaming down my face. If this post is for me, I'll write when I'm as wise and witty as you are! If it is not for me, I'll just say that I am so lucky to be your friend and you are the best writer that I have ever known. I can't wait for the next posting and I promise to read ALL of my emails from you from now on!!! Love ya!

Yes, Allyson, this was for you.

p.s. this is easy to do, takes about 5 minutes to set up.

Yeah, but you haven't seen my office or my house! I'll try it for sure someday...
