We write because it forces us to face ourselves, to confront what does exist and value or demean it on its own terms. Like Walser, we take our pencils and write inscrutably because communication comes second to articulating for ourselves the lives we lead. And that process doesn’t always amount to much. The blog is there when you need it, and forgotten when you don’t. We check Twitter every morning, during lunch, on the toilet. A blog is ignored for months, and then returned to, like an old friend.
