Genesis I:1, or How This Blog Came to Be
In case you don't see Law Technology News regularly, their year-end issue features, at pg. 24 in the "real" issue, my article on "How I Came to (Love) Blogging," thanks to the capable and gentle stewardship of that editorial ball of energy, Monica Bay.
The background story on how "Adam Smith, Esq." came to be. And the key, you will learn, is simply picking your topic: Providing a cogent answer to the question, "What can I write about that I'm passionate about, that no one else has totally and competently covered, and that is not so narrow or so broad as to be impossible?"—well, answer that and you're on your way to your own blog.
You have been warned.
