I miss Livejournal. The LJ of old, that is, from about two, three years ago, before Twitter (which I love) and before Tumblr (which I don't care about). So much fracturing of thoughts and words these days, in little bytes here and there... I miss sharing myself with others, and miss others sharing with me.
I track a few people here who also post on LJ but more and more people seem to be creeping over here for good. I may do the same, may try cross-posting, but this last month I wrote two posts and it was so nice to get comments, so...
I won't leave LJ - too many people there who are only there - but I want to be more active. I think having a place to express oneself (not like FB which also wants only short bytes) is good for me.
So, that's why this post, to say hello Dreamwidth, to start adding people here, to see if there is a sense of community here that I can be a part of, as I miss it, dearly.
It feels weird to do this without Nick but even he is grumbling about LJ - he hasn't posted there since August but also still keeps track of certain things there. So maybe he will buff up his too, but I need this. Miss it too much, and found, sigh, that my 'author blog' does little to make me feel happy. I don't like writing it. LOL. I may revamp that and just start posting things here and cross-posting to that too. There's a thought!
Anyway. Hello DW, hello DW peeps. Good to see you.
