Blog, a solitary enterprise? (Pun Intended!)

[[Hi Sister Laurel,

Do you write this blog alone? I haven't seen a sign that posts are written by anyone other than yourself but there is another name on the blog. Thank you.]]

Yes, this blog is entirely mine. There is another name on it because a friend in another part of the country has graciously agreed to take care of things should anything ever happen to me. In such a case, she would notify readers and so forth. However, she does not access the blog otherwise and does not write for it. So, the blog is definitely a solitary enterprise (in several different senses of the term "solitary") but I do count on a friend to step in when I am unavailable.

There is no reason to think that anything is going to happen to me, of course, but since I am a hermit and sometimes spend periods in which I do no blogging, it seemed like a good idea to ensure that people could be notified should something other than my normal circumstances be at play. I have been meaning to say something about this since the arrangements were made because early on I received a couple of emails wondering if I was both screenames, for instance. That seemed a bit strange to me considering the vast difference in our profiles, but it occurred nonetheless, so I am happy to finally clarify the matter .

Allow me to clarify one other point that comes up with regard to this blog, namely, I do not write in the name of the church. I live eremitical life in her name and I certainly try to post quality material here, but this blog is my own. My bishop and delegate know of it while my delegate sometimes receives posts from it but neither she nor my bishop et al., directly supervise my writing here.
