It's such a different style from nicoleisbetter.com. Which is not to say it's better, but I like seeing this other side of you! This post makes me do the type of thinking where I need to close my eyes and shut out the world. And I love that. I just recently went public with my blog last month, so obviously my online and offline worlds aren't quite as closely meshed together as yours. Only 2 of my friends read my blog, and my husband knows about it but hasn't read it - mostly because he's agreed to give me the space to write without self-censorship. I won't link to it on my Facebook page, because I'm so deathly afraid of the two parallels - online and offline - bleeding over into each other. It's a lot to think about, and who knows what I'll decide to do. But thanks for sharing and making me think it through. Nicole, this is an excellent, excellent post.

Thanks to the encouragement of some really good blog friends, I'm able to be much more open on my new blog--or at least I am trying. It's a slow process, learning to go from divulging nothing at all to letting loose about more intimate details about my life. I know there is more I can share, and I'll get there! That said, I am SO glad that most of the people I meet now know me through the blog, and I don't have to go into any sort of explanation of who I am or why I write (because I love it, duh). I don't know that I would tell someone I just met about it, but really my social circle has become so intertwined with the internet! I still have my photo blog, so when I slip about blogging to family or friends I, I can just refer them to that one. It's a pretty easy situation! Also? I love this post, Nicole.

I love this post. It's so beautiful that I can understand what you're feeling and almost sense that I am there (in a non creepy way, more the way we feel when we're with someone and first divulging, learning and growing). I think the blogging/writing/online balance is interesting. It will always be interesting because it's ever-evolving and it changes, frequently. I suppose it depends on the person. Can you divulge it all publicly, and have the guy be down, be cool, not offended? I'm sure you've seen both. Either way, I say do what makes me keep living (if it's writing, you can't stop). I think the progression will happen naturally :) Ah! I love this post.

I had no idea I wanted to be a writer until that moment when I said it out loud and then freaked out and tried to cover it up. I'm glad you're not trying to cover it up.
