Yet another convert! My friend Anon is going into hospital for an operation, and will be out of action for quite some time. This was a shock cancer diagnosis, though her prospects are excellent.
Already changes are rippling through her psyche, and (being a writer) she wants to document events over the next year.
She's never had a blog, despite being a 50-year-old writer.
Anon wanted to know, what's different about a blog? Why not just write on the computer?
So I demonstrated with this entry just how simple and smooth a blogspot is.
And how secure: it can be private.
How searchable, if she adds labels.
How aesthetically pleasing the process is as well as the product.
How editable.
How safe, preserved by Google.
Seeing is believing. I don't have a mission here, I just thought it might help her.
And sure enough, she's started one. Right now it'll be the last thing on her mind, as she's all bandaged up and groggy in a neat white hospital bed. But next week, she'll get to love her blog, I'm sure.
