Anonymity

Once I had made the decision to start a blog, another question quickly came to the front that would need addressing pretty quickly. The question of anonymity. Reading Emily's Blog, she uses real names (or at least I think she does, I have never read all of her posts). Just to mention, if you've never read it before, do yourself a favour and bookmark it/add it to your RSS. She has a wonderful way with words and, as a relatively new Father, it's a fascinating insight into the problems/delights she has enjoyed as a Mum. I thank my wife for tuning me in to it.

My wife has a blog of her own, and has chosen to make it anonymous. I love writing (and have thankfully recently rediscovered this) and I have a tendency to go headfirst into something if I really believe in it - being a Piscean, I'm definitely a bit of a romantic dreamer. The downside of this is that sometimes, a bit of caution is most certainly a good idea and I have got myself hurt in the past.

Modern times call for a more cautious attitude. Unlike before, it is not just me that is at risk of getting hurt as a result of my (previous) openness. So, with that, I'm going to go with a more anonymous approach. Therefore, I will be referring to my wife as W and my little girl as B.

Hopefully, this won't be too much of a problem when it comes to reading (if anyone, indeed does read this). Even if they don't, it is a much needed method of getting all the stuff I process in my head out and onto a (web) page.

So, onwards, without any sign of a group of heroic indiviuals riding into a glorious sunset. Well, not just yet.....
