Well, for what it’s worth, you’ve liberated me. I just wrote my first post just for me, with no concern for what “others might think.” Very good advice. http://www.tomllewis.com/?p=1188

I know I’ve got a lot to learn.

Thanks again.

Tom, you’re going to be just fine. Write for yourself, no one else!

Wendy, I know you’re right. I’ve been trying to build up the courage to start making my own observations, and not just cut & paste what I think are meaningful articles, videos, cartoons, etc.

I’ve rationalized that first I need to learn the mechanics of maintaining a website. I only started a blog this past April and am still trying to figure out basics, like how WordPress works. That said, I will start adding my own thoughts with some frequency.

I did make an attempt with this: http://www.tomllewis.com/?s=david+brooks a few weeks ago.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It does get a little intimidating reading the many very professional blogs I read, knowing how far I have to go to not look like the amateur I am. Of course, it shouldn’t matter, because hardly anyone has ever even seen my blog anyway.

I’m somewhat confident that I have a decent grasp on “conservative principles,” as I’ve been reading, and understanding conservative writers for many years, I’ve just never been a “good” writer. Obviously the only way to become one, is to start writing.

You’ve motivated me. I’ll do my best. Thank you.

I am guilty as charged…..but isn’t that what free speech is all about? If originality was mandatory there would be no blogs. In my case my profile outlines the reason I “blog.” I don’t belong to a legion amd there is a limit to how much draft beer and/or coffee I can afford or consume.
