The write thing to do

March 22nd, 2007 5:06:06 pm pst by Sterling Camden

My first guest post over on SOB covers how tacking wings on a Chevette doesn’t make it an SR-71.

At first, I turned down apotheon’s offer to guest blog, though I very much wanted to do it. Writing is one of my favorite occupations, but I have so much on my plate right now that it all gets cold by the time I get to it. It’s hard enough to find time to keep my own hungry blog fed.

Then another friend (who shall remain nameless for the time being, in case he changes his mind) asked if I would fill in on his blog in the near future. I turned him down, too — citing the same reasons and the precedent of my earlier refusal of apotheon. But I felt bad about that response, also. I knew I was turning away from a path that I wanted to explore. When he asked me a second time, I remembered Max’s piercing question.

So I decided I would do both. Wish me luck.

    tacking wings on a Chevette

    What year?

    Ahem. Hello from the 65% point of the outward bound leg of my journey. Now, I’ve just got to try to write an article for publication in a local newspaper and still get to sleep early enough to get where I need to be tomorrow.

    Wish me luck. . . .

    Okay, yeah, that is a pretty bad choice for attaching wings.

    How was your trip? Home yet?

  4. apotheon says:

    Yes, I’m home — and tired.

    It was a good trip. Thanks for asking. I visited family in one state and friends in another.

    Glad you’re back, apotheon. I enjoyed guest blogging for you, but I’m ready to go back to only posting to two blogs for a while.

  6. apotheon says:

    Understandable, of course. I appreciate your effort, and you did an excellent job.

  7. sterling says:

    Thanks much — I’d do it again.

    I may hold you to that at some point.
