Ever have one of those days when you repeatedly kick the crap out of yourself? Today, I’m pretty much bruised from head to toe.
I struggle with seeing how Too Shy to Stop can be special when technology is changing and improving at an insane pace. Nowadays, what makes writing special? Consumers prefer multimedia displays, and they want content to challenge and titillate all their senses at once.

Lately, I have been feeling very strongly about the following things: the potential of small business, the untapped power of creative individuals, the overbearing nature of large corporations, the wonder that is the Internet, and the presence of bullshit in media.
I am also newly fascinated by search engines and search engine marketing, and I think pay-per-click advertisements are pretty freaking brilliant.
This September marks the first time in 20-something years that I won’t be returning to school. I have officially entered the real world, and I’m trying to make a clean break from my parents. I knew before that living is tough, but now I know for sure. I am more motivated to focus my energy and create something that can sustain myself and others.
I really need to proceed full-force with a new plan. I just feel too antsy not to move forward.
I like the frankness of this post. I’m not arty at all but I thought your first question re your struggle in seeing how TSTS can be special based on the pace of techonological change was interesting. Regardless of the answer, I think, looking at your site, that you can make the site special by your content – for example be more controversial – that’s always guaranteed to get people talking – also for example with the same rise in digital cameras why not invite you readers to submit something topic related that is special to them and let your other subscribers know when they do maybe for a period.
