Never-in-Chief

While perusing blogland, I can’t help but wonder how many people put their lives out there for everyone to read and see (if there’s a photo). Part of me is intrigued, wanting to know more, and part of me is repulsed because I think I read too much already.

True, it makes me sound like a hypocrite because I, too, am an Editor-in-Chief of my own site. But, like any good editor, I know what stays in and what needs to be taken out to achieve an interesting and entertaining balance.

The checklist of what stays and what goes is a simple one. Although I am a proponent of never using the word “never” for anything, there are some things that my eight readers will never find on this site…

- Names of any family members and friends (it's their initials - always)
- Stories of any family members and friends (it's their stories to tell)
- Tales of romantic exploits (there's nothing romantic to talk about)
- Me wearing nothing, or next-to-nothing (there are better bodies out there)

If I wanted fame, the numbers on my stat counter to grow exponentially, or people to compliment me about how [insert comment] I am, I’d surely take the four points (above) into consideration. But, that’s not my style. I am not seeking attention, or the approval of others. This site is about writing, not T&P/D&A.

Of course, there will still be plenty of stories about my exploits in the world, because that’s what Human Nature is all about.


Note: Sorry about that. I had an itch to scratch.
