In that sense, I find blogs their most appealing (and often most compelling) when the blogger writes with only one audience in mind: their own heart and conscience. In this, the blogger offers a challenge and an invitation to a reader: inviting them into the life of the blogger and challenging them to keep up. And now the caveat: a blogger with a dose of talent should be able to write from this position without devolving into mere stream of consciousness reporting, or cryptic sound bite/non sequitur chains. (And I think many would agree you have far more than a dose here...) So, I guess the best writing advice I've ever received is apropos here: write what you feel *needs* to be written. (with the smart-ass rejoinder: let your editor/publisher make the apologies!) Aloha nui, Jason My $0.02: I love the public privacy of a blog, kinda like publishing a diary.
