Boy, I can relate to this guy!

Dan Greenberg guest blogs for a week! Some excerpts:

knew I wasn’t going to master the art in my few remaining days. And the vicious replies were wearing me down. I’ve gotten nasty responses to my articles before, but blogging is somehow more personal.

When Dan Drezner guest-blogged at the Washington Monthly site, one reader wished bodily harm on his family members. I found the blood lust jarring – especially when it started arriving in bulk, daily. (Suzanne cheerfully said, “Oh, just ignore them!” and kept posting thousand-word items by night.)

I don’t know how they’ll fare, but I doubt that celebrity will attract readers for long. To succeed in blogging you need to understand it’s a craft, with its own tricks of the trade. You need a thick skin. And you must put your life on hold to feed an electronic black hole.

Hat tip TSO!
