OK, all two of you that read this will by now have noticed a rather long delay between posts here. I’m still trying to figure out where I want to be going with this. I think it’s a bit of a Catch-22 situation with readership. Of course, any bloggy type person wants readers, but of course if any newspapery/magaziney editor type people became readers, they would (I think) be obligated not to print my letters.

The obviously solution, which several friends have suggested, is to write the letters to the editor under a pseudonym. That makes sense, of course, but I really don’t love that idea. Perhaps it’s pure narcissim, but much of the point of the blog was to see MY name in print, not a nom de plume. (And I have to say here that this is definitely the first time I’ve ever written nom de plume in a sentence. I like it. I’m going to try to do it more often.)

I’d like to go out and toot (or tweet) my horn about Mrs. Dogood, but I can’t see how that won’t eventually prevent me from ever getting any letters printed. If anyone has any brilliant ideas, I’m all ears.
