Announcement: a change in direction
When I started blogging at the beginning of 2000, most bloggers had a brand, which was very rarely their name, but was the name by which they became known. And so it continued over the next few years. Prolific. Plasticbag. Minor9th. Digitaltrickery. Dutchbint. Whereveryouare. Kitschbitch. TroubledDiva. Littleredboat. I was notsosoft, then a few years later this site was born – meish, a play on me(ish). Like me, but not quite.
Over the last few years especially, I’ve struggled to reconcile blogging Meg and working Meg. Blogging was always a thing which was nothing to do with my professional life, and even as my work became more and more about blogging (and social media, digital engagement, publishing, storytelling and so on), I somehow felt that I had to keep the two separate.
But that doesn’t really work anymore. My work and personal interests are so blurred now, it feels rather artificial to keep them apart.
So I’ve resolved to get back into the blogging groove this year. And because so much of what I want to write about seems to be about things that are pertinent to both my personal and professional worlds, I’ve started writing again over at megpickard.com, my sort of professional site, which for the last four years or so has just been a place for people to find me online and a list of upcoming/previous talks and the like.
So there we go. I’m moving some of the pertinent archives over, and future blogging is shifting from meish.org to megpickard.com – from me(ish) to me.
See you there, I hope.
