For all of you out there who are joining this program already in progress, I'd like to quote a fellow blogger who has some words of wisdom for us all:
"Stand on the roof in a thunderstorm holding up a rake. You never know when lightning will strike, but you can improve your odds."
I just love this. Writing can be such a precarious thing. For those of us who are writers, it's not something we put out there lightly; that's a little piece of ourselves going out into the world. Being a writer means taking chances and putting yourself out there. Give yourself the opportunity to brush up against something great.
You can't control how other people are going to view your words, but you can control how you feel about them. If there's anything I've learned in the past three years, it's that the only expectations you should have to measure up to are your own.
That being said, ethics are going to come up. There is no filter here, nobody telling me what I can and can't say. I'm on my own code of ethics here. I need to keep my blog in accordance with what I feel is appropriate and respectful. Genius is genius, but everyone has an opinion. Sometimes, it's best to play by the rules.
Just stretch 'em a little.
