“Whatever fascinates you deserves to be told, always in your own way. Do not think about what people are expecting from you. Do it just because you love it.” —Ray Bradbury quoted in Beatrice Cassina, “Ray Bradbury’s ‘Theater of the Morning,’” The Writer, January 2003

Quote of the Day (Ray Bradbury, Explaining Why I Blog)

Quote of the Day (Andrew Sullivan, on Blogging)
“Blogging is to writing what extreme sports are to athletics: more free-form, more accident-prone, less formal, more alive. Blogging is writing out loud.”—Andrew Sullivan, “Why I Blog,” The Atlantic, November 2008
(I don’t always agree with everything Andrew Sullivan writes—in fact, I disagree with quite a lot of it—but few writers have made such an impact in the blogosphere, and there is no doubt that on almost any given moment of any day, he leaves a bit of himself out there. His essay in a bastion of the old print medium, The Atlantic—long one of my favorite magazines, incidentally—is a revealing look at the exhilaration and perils of blogging, and of what he sees as a new golden era of journalism that it will usher in.
Over the next few days, I will be doing a little bit of experimentation myself, with contemporaneous travel writing. We’ll see how this goes!)
