If you think your writing makes a difference, you're right.
A lot of my original ideas for blog entries become completely changed so that they no longer resemble the beginning thought. Their point (or theme) is often cocooned inside layers of time-stamped language. This whole fact sometimes bothers me. A blog entry doesn't become a novel to be fleshed out and honed into a story. Each entry is a moment, something to be tossed up in the air and let go like a cottonwood seed, carried on currents of air across the internet, unlikely to take hold and grow in any one particular place. I want theses entries to mean something, something important. But they probably don't. Still, it sems important to write them and send them on, even though I might never know of any difference they made in the universe. It's not so much the result that matters as the process itself.
