But the guilt stems from the fact that majordojo might never be my only blog, but it will always be my first blog. In that way it is like my baby, and I honestly feel bad for having neglected it. But when you consider just how many blogs I have, you might understand why majordojo has been so neglected. Its not just a function of time, however. The more blogs I have, the more difficult it is for me to blog here, at majordojo, because it becomes more difficult for me to define majordojo as a blog. Is this where I blog about personal stuff? Not really – that is for my Vox blog. Is there where I blog about my neighborhood? Not really – that is for Walker Watch. Is this where I blog about technology? Well yes, but not exclusively. Is it then where I blog about my various projects? Well, yes, but also no - I have a separate blog for each of them (and some don't have blogs - oh, the horror!). Is this where I blog about work? No – that is what my blog at work is for.

So what is majordojo, and why is my need to define it so paralyzing?

But perhaps that is what the whole point of this exercise: to spur us as bloggers to shed the inhibitions we have and just to write. For me, that means to shed the fear I have of not being eloquent, of not coming across as intellectual enough, of not writing a post that is long enough, of you-name-it.

So this month I will write. I will not strive to find a theme for my writings. I will not try to fit what I write into some master plan. I will just write.
