So I have been asking people what they think of my blog posts. An egoistic task really. I am not looking for a compliment when I ask such a question, more so to have a chance to see if the other person has understand as I have intended.
This is hardly ever the response, it generally falls in to the area that either: A. You missed all the detail out, it makes no sense. OR B. How can you write such personal stuff in a public forum.
Now I have answered both of these questions before. I always leave the detail out because I write about such personal things I believe it is only fair if the ones I write about can only be known if you are already aware of the scenario.
So that task has got me no closer to finding out if I write in a good style, because everyone sees past my style? Maybe that proofs the point I was asking? Does it?
PS. Writtin in “The White Lion” in Soho.
OR B??!

since this is your blog you should decide whatever style seems fit.
as long as your closest understand what the posts are about, the purpose appears to be met, doesn’t it? as long as your closest find your posts to be too personal and in parallel everybody else experiences a major lack of detail, I think everything is just fine as it is.
besides that I’d be happy to receive frequent updates about the missing details through other less public channels as long as I can’t be close to you but your blog seems to be alright, pal
cheers, -jmt. (looking forward to january 9th)
