Great write up about writing and everything concerned with being the newest blogger on the block. Particularly liked the information about being personal and using aliases of close people so as not to share anything you shouldn’t. I think if I do write about anyone I know I usually try to change the name but never thought of changing the gender or the race before.

Nice post, Sonia. As someone working on starting a blog/website/business all at once, I find myself now feeling a bit paralyzed on WHICH shots of skin I should show, in order to maximize the audience that will be the most gung-ho about this movement. Thanks for re-focusing my thoughts on setting my own boundaries, which will naturally help me to zero-in on the definition brand of my brand and audience. @BenSpark – great point. Blogging IS all about connections, and feeling connected!

I have always written with my own name as well as my girlfriend, now wife and our daughter. This has been very good for us and my blog because it gave readers a window into our lives. I tend to pull less punches these days even after we had a recent family tragedy I blogged my feelings about it, not just for me (because yes much of it was for me and my feelings and my need to express them) but also in case some other men, fathers, husbands, boyfriends and so on, may have gone through the same thing and needed to feel connected. I couldn’t do that if I wasn’t real on my blog.
