Since this is an older post I can tell that you have made the decision to keep on blogging. I am so happy about that, as I have added you to my RSS reader. As some one who suffers from ADD as well, (I also have depression so ain't that a grand combo) I can tell you, your description is better than any I have been able to come up with. Thanks for the writing and the sharing and even for being serious. Hi Jane, I just stumbled on to your site and I must tell you I absolutely love it.

It's so weird when people who have never met you or know anything about you say shit about you or your creation to all their readers. But I share your conflict over continuing to blog when what I say seems so irrelevant. And beyond that, is it just narcissism on my part? (I love it when a post gets a comment and I would be stats whore if I knew how to generate them better!) I come to your blog for honesty and big, difficult thoughts, something in short supply on the internet. Keep writing, Jane. my magazine having been the target of The Bloggess’s vitriol, I have to admit that she scares the devil out of me.

Wow. This was a great post. We all feel this way I think. I've only been at it for like 4 months and I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I wanted a creative outlet. Just for me. Plain and simple. A place to decorate with some thoughts and some photos and some stories and wow - it keeps changing and evolving and sometimes, like now, I am going through an identity crisis. I try not to care about what everyone else is caring about here in blogville but like others have said, it's the human in us. Wanting to get validation for who we are and we attach our identity to our blog of course. So anyway - from what I have read here, you are so super smart. And that in itself can scare people away. No one wants to feel intimidated you know? People like commenting on coffee cups because it's something they know. Not everyone feels comfortable when Ayn Rand is quoted. :-) For me I don't mind feeling dumber than most. I'm used to it. I have super smart siblings. :-) Okay enough rambling...I'll be back to check you out again. Oh I came over from Ryan’s place too. Wow. This was a great post. We all feel this way I think.
