Pitchertaker: Lately I have had to resort to more than a cookie to finish. My weight reflects the amount of writing I do....

gary: I was fooling around with settings and turned it on to see how it worked. Forgot to turn it off.

I never thought about the possibility of corrupting experience. I certainly have been a steady consumer and viewer of images and photo books. I have always found influence and inspiration in that area. Not being a writer I am not sure how the books affect me. I suppose I assume if I have a voice it will continue regardless of exposure.

I'll have to think about that for awhile.

So you've had to add a moderation layer to deal with the spam now?

Welcome to the club.

I'm getting over 500 spam-attempts per day now.

Okay now, about reading other moto-writing: I must admit that I used to be a voracious reader of anything related to motorbikes.

But since I started getting my own stuff published, first in magazines and now in my blog, I have found a certain reluctance to read other people's experiences, especially if it is about something I hope to do myself one day.

Does that make sense? I don't want my fresh perception of new experiences corrupted by expectations derived from reading someone else's material.

Maybe when I give up blogging, I will go back to the book shelves. Until then, I will just visit a few of my favorite blogs every day.

Ride well,
=gc=

It was good to hear your voice. I laughed when you were asked how long it takes to write or produce an entry for your blog. Knowing that you write by hand your entries and transcribe later to the computer, my thoughts turned to those images of your journal open beside a steaming coffee cup and some tasty treat…like a monster-sized cookie. Sorta’ like the size of the cookie determine the length of time it take to write the entry. And obviously some of your entries are two big cookies long…
