After a lot of thinking and a bit of soul searching, I've decided to come clean about The Dan Watch. I think everyone out there (well, mostly Dan) deserves to know the truth about my identity. My reasons for creating The Dan Watch were twofold:
1) To poke some fun at Dan at the tremendously slow pace of his blogging
At this point, I think it's fairly safe to say that Dan's blog is dead. TBEHBWF! was quite the rollercoaster ride of emotions - the excitement when it first came out, the frustration of waiting for a new post, and the sadness upon realizing there would be no more new posts.
2) To see how much work/effort it would take to maintain a blog
I've been rather curious about starting my own blog for a while. What held me back was the fear that I'd end up like Dan - I had a few things I wanted to blog about, but wasn't sure whether I'd be able to find the time/inspiration to update the blog on a regular basis. I think my experience with The Dan Watch has given me the confidence to believe that I could write my own blog.
This, coupled with the unfortunate demise of TBEHBWF!, has convinced me to start my own blog. Today will be the last post on The Dan Watch, as I shift from posting in anonymity to posting about my own experiences and thoughts. Those who are curious will be able to follow along at my new blog, Blog This!
I hope everyone will join me at Blog This! and that everyone enjoyed The Dan Watch as much as I did.
