Throwing out a request in a blog comment just seems kinda...half-hearted. @Shawn -- you make it sounds so...empty. What I meant was: if you do not enjoy building a kind of self-presentation based on cross-links, sharing gossipy details, personal information, and minutia, then blogging probably isn't the medium for you. I'm still working out exactly how to present myself and my thoughts this way so that it feels authentic, like a true reflection of me, but still fits the medium. It's a work in progress. @Lorraine — I’d be happy to talk to you if you’d take the trouble of tracking down my email address and sending me a proper request, telling me a bit more about your project.

I'm Lorraine, a fourth year graduating college student. I'm currently doing a thesis on online relationships/dating. I read on your entry that you once joined an online dating site. I was wondering if I could interview you online regarding this. You will be kept anonyous and the interview will be kept cofidential. Hoping for your kind reply... -Lorraine Good evening!

My father just got back from a trip around India with the same message: go towards what you love. It will never lead you astray. A simple message that's somehow easy to forget.

If it doesn't come from within, from passion, its hard to move your readers enough for them to stick with you. Blog about what you love. and there's no need to post daily either; in the end, quality wins out. good luck on your journey. Finding your original voice is one of the most difficult things to do in these cookie-cutter times. ya, agreed.
