Note to Self:

Hello? Self? Are you there?

Hi Self. Of Course I am here.

Where have you been?

Where you have been, of course. Isn't that kind of obvious.

I know but you haven't written me in a while and I was beginning to worry.

Well you know we've been busy.

Yes, I know. But why haven't you written me.

I...uh...I'm not sure. I just haven't.

Don't you like to share things anymore.

Yes, but I'm selective.

What like country club selective?

No, more like bakery selective. So much to choose from and often too much to choose, so you walk out in fear of buying too much or you splurge and then later have to buy bigger jeans. It seems I've been walking out of the store, yet my jeans would say different.

Yes, they were tighter this morning when you put them on.

Back to the point, please.

Sorry Self. It's just a new year and I thought I'd remind you of your indulgent online diary. How do you expect people to read about your writing if you aren't actually writing.

You might have a point.

You know I do.

Yes, but I don't have to admit it.

Not to others, but I'm you, you already have and you know I'm right.

Yes, you usually are right.

I know, but it's a responsibility I must bear. And that is why I got your attention. To deny me such intrigues as these is a crime.

Well, at least I know I can entertain myself.

Yes, it's a start but try not to get too caught up only in that. Blogger hermithood is not the most conducive to building a following.

I submit. So Self what would you have me do?

Just write. Most of the time it's to me anyway so journal, diary, chronicle...do whatever it takes and write.

And if I don't?

Then you will be hearing again from me sooner than anyone who just read this post would like. Don't put them through another blog like this. Besides that could lead to something else entirely as talking to yourself is not often characterized as functional, and you do have a book you want to sell.

Ah yes, true. Thanks Self.

You are welcome. And by the way I love the new background.

Why thank you Self. It's very English chic.

Thanks Self, that's exactly what I thought :)
