Counting Crows

Last week I posted a question about what you include and exclude in your blog, and several of you explained that you keep more than one blog. 

Actually, I maintain two blogs myself.  The Other Mother is about my experiences as a parent, and my other one, Big Window, is about literature, poetry, and art.  My sense is that most people read one or the other of them, not both.  [There are a few notable exceptions, however, such as my friend Shannon.]

So, here's the question for today. How many blogs do you keep?  How do you divide the content between them?

alright...so..what i want to know is....WHEN do you have time to read with a wee one? i know that pre-Harris, i read a WHOLE lot more. NOW, after he goes to bed...IF i try to read, i fall asleep. hmmmmm.....maybe THIS is why YOU are not getting any sleep? put the book down Robin...go to bed!

I read both. :)

Let me see...I have three active blogs. Any Consolation is the blog I keep to keep my far-flung friends in on things. I started it when my now ex-partner went to Iraq as a chronicle of our relationship. It's locked down so only folks on the list read it. Girl In The City is my chronicle of what it is like to have grown up rural and now live in the city. And then there is Every Third Word. I'm not sure how I divide content except for certain things feel right in certain places.

Uno.
Had 2, but it seemed too much so I got rid of one.
Now I write complete and utter fluff. :)

I have a dead blog called "thoughts in exile" that I began as a place to post funny/angry/clever letters I was writing to the press and politicians. Once I started the adoption blog, I was too busy with that to continue writing dumb letters to the press/politicians, so I sort of let it go to seed. It's still there. From time-to-time I consider deleting it. From time-to-time I consider reviving it. Haven't done either yet.

I have just one, and it's sometimes more than enough. Of course, I am not a writer, as so many of the blogging folks out there are, so I don't do it as naturally as others do. I enjoy writing in my one blog about my mommy/work/grad school (mis-)adventures, but I don't write the kind of thought-out structured posts that I find on other blogs. I just do sort of emotional brain dumps and hope that they make sense to whoever is reading them. I really enjoy reading the really literate blogs because I love good writing so much.

I gotta second Robyn's question. Who the hell has time to read?

I keep one blog and I wish I felt freer to let loose, but I don't.

I have one blog at the moment but have at different times planned at least 3 others. However, I am very cautious about staring them up as I relaise how much work is involved and want to be sure about the commitment I'm making if I dos tart them. But then again there is a place for 'temporary' blogs too, especially if they deal with one phase/issue of your life. These additional blogs have had very specific themes and that is why they seem to need a sepearte blog. I haven't completely given up on any of them yet, just keep waiting to take that final step.

I keep one blog. I've had a passing fancy to keep two, using one just to vent when I am feeling unreasonable and petty. Then I asked myself why I would want to document my unreasonable and petty self? :)

I have several. Only one I write in on a commited basis. Luckily its Live Journal, so I have what you will see when you go there, Then what you would see if you were a Lj user and I have you on my friends list (I would definitely add you as I am enjoying so much watching Pearl grow) and then I have my private enteries where I write about stuff that would pretty much ostersize me from all my friends, things most of us "think" but won't say out loud. NO ONE gets to read that one. Well say, except my Nephew who was here for a few weeks and got in there by accident and just kept reading ACK. Thank God all he said was REALLY You feel this way? HAHA :oP
