MyShingle.com and a Fool

A Fool in the Forest
Attorney Carolyn Elefant is responsible for My Shingle, a site/weblog devoted to the practice of law as a sole practitioner or in a small firm. That may not be terribly interesting to you, but it is a subject near and dear to me because I am (you guessed it) an attorney practicing in a small, 2-lawyer firm. [A Fool in the Forest]
I link to this for both the post itself and the link to My Shingle (myshingle.com). I have several friends in small practices, and perhaps some of them might find this information helpful.

Say it ain't so, Bb! Oops, dyslexia...

That's why I felt more obligated to write what I do, because I remember all too well coming close to quitting two years ago this Christmas, when I was alone in San Francisco and felt even more alone online because no one was around, or commented, or seemed to see me.
It's late, and the print is very small, so for a moment, I thought Shelley said she was “thinking of quilting” instead of blogging. I thought, "It's creative, and she may be good at it, but I'm glad she kept writing." (Of course, I live within a short drive of Lancaster county, and can see more quilts than you can shake a stick at in just a few minutes of shopping.

As to the actual topic: I seek out bloggers who are women because—perhaps like women songwriters, whom I seem to favor—they cut close to the heart (for me), more than just cutting.
