this website…
So, as of now I still have not shared this website with my List. But I will soon.
Well, facebook does not work for me because it is all face and no book! Linked-In had more kinks than links. MySpace did not feel mine. Flickr I love, but it is only pictures. Now Twitter I do use (even though I haven’t in months)–it is a great tool to jot down a quick thought when I don’t have a pen or paper, kind of like sending yourself a text but it stays stored. I have barely ten followers and most of them are the same people I email and text anyway!
I have a box of notebooks, folders, articles, loose leaf pages, tissue papers with jotted down thoughts where the ink is smeared and I can’t even decipher the great plot or dialogue that I scribbled, and printed out email exchanges that are just scattered all over. This does not include the good ole diskettes. Remember those? Well, I have them and need to find some computer store to convert them onto a thumbdrive or cd so I can access them since they do have a ton of writing stored in them from ages ago.
What I am really excited about is that this is truly a space for me to store my fragments of thoughts and writings regardless if I ever share this site with others (and as of now it is not “google-able” ). This way I can just upload it here. Very neat. Literally! 
So much so for me not liking technology!
I am very grateful to Sherry, Sean, Erica and Zain for suggesting this medium for me despite my resistance. And of course it has been a learning process for me. Although Zain and Sean helped me quite a bit initially, they did not want to enable my continuously depending on them, so I have had to learn quite a few things on my own and there is still a lot to learn!

I stopped by to cheer you on and say keep writing and trust that your audience is growing and will respond with applause … keep at it! You left my friend, Rose Casanova, a supportive message on her blog and I felt you deserved same.
Cheers,
