Ok, they were diaries or journals. My wife would suggest when I was young the pages were stone and we used chisels to carve on them. She would be exaggerating for comedic effect. It’s why I love her so much. The point is blogs are a relatively new phenomena that involves a shared experience. A chance to share my thoughts and have people respond, suggest new ideas, critique the ones presented and generally have a conversation about the ideas.

What’s so important about my thoughts that you should care? I have worked in marketing for 20+ years. (Unless you consider the time I spent with a lemonade stand where I would try to convince passersby to quench their thirst with an amazingly refreshing icy cold beverage–in that case it has been 30 or so years with a few breaks). I have worked with start-ups, fortune 500s, B2B, B2C, non-profits and every other type of business imaginable. (Well not torture for profit, professional assassins or lots of other businesses I can imagine, but I’m a writer and spend a lot of time imagining things). My point is I suppose you might read the blog in case my experiences help you with copywriting, marketing or whatever else your working on that calls for a brain block to be dislodged.
