The problem with sharing a blog.

By Mike Jastrzebski


A little over a year ago I came up with the idea for this blog. I guess you could say the blog is a little like me, it has a split personality. We're a little bit for writers and a little bit for boaters. Before starting the blog I told some friends what I had in mind and one of those friends, Christine Kling, liked the title and the idea behind the blog and suggested that it would be a little easier with two people filling up five days a week of blogging rather than my doing it all by myself. I thought she had a great idea and so the two of us began blogging a couple of days a week. We soon added several other bloggers and now nobody has to write more than one blog a week. That's pretty cool, we keep fresh content up on the blog and we offer our readers a wide variety of writing styles and opinions. Perfect–right?


Almost. You see every once in awhile one of us steps on another's foot. That happened this weekend with Christine. On Friday she posted a beautiful blog about multitasking and how it has affected her work on her boat dodger. Therein lies the problem.


Today I planned on writing about my own problems with multitasking and about how I had turned the job of sewing our bimini over to my wife, Mary, because I couldn't spend part of the day doing boat work and then go inside and write. I even had a picture of the bimini frame with the patterning material up. (see below)



So much for my post, but I don't want you to get me wrong. I'm not complaining about Christine beating me to the punch (well maybe a little).


That's because this blog would not be what it is without Christine and the others who contribute their time energy and writing abilities. So rather than complaining about Christine, I want to thank her for her contributions to this blog and while I'm at it thanks also to Victoria Allman, John Urban, Michael Haskins, Tom Tripp, C.E. Grundler, Joyce Holland, Richard Jordan, and all of the wonderful guests who have contributed to this blog.


Mike
