you know, i tried to ‘secret blog’ once. i had writted down a bunch of posts, like a journal, but in another character completely. it was sort of like my short story form…but a lot of the things were ‘of me’ and my ‘real’ feelings about things, etc… and then when i posted it, i realized it was connecting back to me via blogger! and it was MY name on there! and i couldn’t seem to figure out how to not connect me and this secret blog and so…it stays in a book now and i rarely, if ever, visit it anymore. but someday, maybe… for now, i try and get as honest and real as i can in my own blog and pretend that nobody’s reading.

secret blog…hmm…havent thought of that before.
but i have an email account that i opened for my son when he was born…cause im not a written journal person either. so both husband and i just email him whatever we are thinking or just different stuff. he will be given the password when he is old enough to understand :)
maybe you can start an email account if blogging seems like an odd idea

I’ve kept a paper journal since I was five and wrote “I love Garret” in a big scrawl, and completely understand the need to vent with freedom I do not have on my blog. I also have a mutual pact with my sister and fellow-journal writer to burn said books upon death. Some pages are material for the stage show “Mortified.”

Just discovered your blog, love it!

Secret blog or not, please just don’t leave Chez Spud. We’d all miss you too, too much.

my “secret blog” is my written journal, althoug I’m pretty open on my blog there are things I want to keep to myself. I suppose I could start a “secret blog” but I love pretty notebooks and pens that really write beautifully so I’ll stick to the oldfashioned diary for my really, really personal thoughts.

Hugs

Leave it to Julochka to have a million blogs!:) She has the best idea to keep it to author only, there is something grounding and calming about clicking away on the keys… and I have way too many real friends and family reading mine now that it’s stifling my bs.

[...] not really here, I’m actually blogging in my head. I read all your comments and emails about secret blogging and I weighed up all the options. I’m still tempted by a secret blog as my chosen vehicle, [...]

Hmmm… secret blogging could be useful. And even fun… although I would miss making a fool of myself in public. Seriously, though, writing things down helps me see things from a different perspective. I don’t do it often, but it does happen occasionally.

I guess you could say I’m a secret blogger. 3 people know, but I just mentioned it and they don’t have the address/link, so they can’t read it. I prefer to not have people I know read it because I fear that i won’t always be completely honest or be able to write what I really want to write. I’m glad I’ve kept it this way. It’s for me. I if I want input from my analog friends I’ll ask.

I say do it!
