I can ...Barbara: Welcome and thanks for commenting. I can definitely see the informational side of the writing world, and some writers are certainly more sensitive than others to the question of vulnerability. <BR/><BR/>I suppose I'm speaking more of the vulnerability of putting one's work for other people to respond to than I am speaking of vulnerability of putting personal information out in the world (though that is certainly another consideration). My sensitivity to others' vulnerability in this respect would lead me to engage them in conversation about the content or form of their work, since I see that writing, particularly in online forms (including the blog), is an interpersonal form, in which it can feel awkward to be speaking with no awareness of people's response. <BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean I'd respond to everything I was reading, but I've tried to become more intentional lately about this form of participatory reading.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying the blog, and I look forward to "seeing you around."<BR/><BR/>DeborahDeborah Leiter Nyabutihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550153856823115989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143902778606793130.post-118538065850009382008-10-01T19:24:00.000-04:002008-10-01T19:24:00.000-04:00I arrived via Kevin Alexander's Commenting Adventu...I arrived via Kevin Alexander's Commenting Adventure Part Deux.<BR/><BR/>Your take on the vulnerability of writers is correct in some circumstances, while in others not. My viewpoint is a writer who feels vulnerable is allowing themselves to be so. I tend to be objective toward other writers, especially bloggers, of which I am one.<BR/><BR/>All writers can be of benefit to other writers, and this is true of writers who blog. Each and every writer's blog contains information to assist another in some way; which this one is doing for me.<BR/><BR/>I will be returning to read your other posts.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.com
