I’ve been a bit delinquent with my personal blogging lately - it’s been a mess of deadlines the past few weeks and I’ve only barely been able to keep up with my for-profit blogging, much less had time to think about things like personal blogging or sleep, for that matter.

But now it’s over, the invoices have all been sent out and I can sit back and enjoy the holidays.

Part of which have involved going to parties. And I’ve discovered something. Unlike last year, when people ask me what I do, and I invariably conclude with “and I’m a blogger”, no-one has asked, “what’s a blogger?” or “what do you mean, a blog?”

Recently, for example, I was at a party where about 80% of the guests were lawyers, and the other 20% were my friend’s neighbours, and when asked what I did, it was always the blogging that caught my listeners’ interest. (Mind you, this might have been because 98% of the conversation contained your choice of the following words: “pleadings”, “factum”, “argument” or “judgment”.)

The most frequently asked question?

“I don’t get it. How do you make money blogging?”

The second most frequently asked question:

“But aren’t blogs just stream of consciousness things?”
:)
It’s fun being a blogger. It’s even more fun now that people actually know what you mean (mostly).
