A Noble Compromise
Well, as this blog whips up into shape again, it’s been an interesting experience reassembling it. For one, I actually managed to add my Twitter feed to my blog here. For the last month or so I have been posting the equivalent of “weird minute details” to the Twitter…and there always seemed to be a threshold/cutoff of whether a thought should be translated into a blog box or twitter box. And it has definitely been an interesting experience, as a writer, to work within the constraints of the twitter box. In fact it’s been helpful as an editorial tool. (It would be interesting as a pedagogical tool for a poetry workshop, for a student to keep a Twitter-journal though the course of a class.) So, really, the best of both worlds to have the Twitter feed here–although there is indeed something to be loved about posting bits and flotsam onto the blog as well. God knows this place is full of it!
