Our secret.

Hi, this is Blankity Blank Blank. I have this idea for a project called, “The Anonymous Blog.” It’s a bit of a vanity project so I apologize in advance if it comes across as insipid. I’m sending this out as a request to five people whose writing and/or ideas I find inspiring. You may or may not know each other but the purpose of this idea is not to uncover each other’s identities, but rather to feed off of what I feel are complimentary talents. I would have remained anonymous too but I felt some of you might be more inclined to participate if you know who is orchestrating this. Plus, I’m already the odd man out because I know your identities and this makes me feel it’s only fair that you should know mine. The blog has no rules as far as content is concerned just as long as you wrote it. If all goes according to plan your identities will remain secret; it is my hope that this anonymity will inspire you to write more honestly. Whether it be fictional, autobiographical or fictionalized autobiographical writing, I encourage you to get inspired by each other, explore narratives with each other’s characters, or just share insights about your personal journey (sorry about that one I’m feeling kinda new age). I do request that only the five people I send this message to write on the blog in order to maintain the integrity of the project. Participation in this experiment is not mandatory and I welcome you to simply come and read the blog if you are too shy, modest, busy or uninterested to participate. I also encourage you to surreptitiously invite your friends to read the blog but I ask you to refrain from telling them my identity, the identity of any of the other bloggers should this information become available to you, or the fact that you are one of the brilliant contributors to this blog. Regards,your friend Blankity Blank Blank
