First off if you noticed I haven’t been blogging all that much in the last few months its not because I’m not active. It’s because Twitter is pretty much my new blog. (You can follow my tweets here. I twitter under the name NewsCat_in_DC).
It’s funny that Twitter has managed to make me blog the way I was told I should be blogging. Short, sharp observations and a link.
A long time ago when I started blogging in earnest I would frequently NOT write something because I either a) didn’t have anything new to add to most topics or b) didn’t feel like what I would write would have any added value for anyone. I basically held my fire until I saw a topic that wasn’t being addressed or could add something that hadn’t been discussed before.
I had a mentor who said I “overthought” my blog posts and I should be writing shorter, zippier little posts. Kind of like Eschaton. Now Twitter has turned us all into Atrios.

this is sad.
I'm not a fan of the twitter, I prefer to read something in depth, not limited to ~120 characters.
And, just to try and talk you into writing, you are my main source for your view point. I don't read the blogs you read. So even if you copied them, I wouldn't know.
Please...blog. For me.
[knock, knock, knock]
hello?
is this thing on??
