The Great Diary War in Everyday life

I’ve seen the entries today and I felt like getting on my soapbox and shouting nonsense.

A. I’m not taking sides, I find both sites have positive and negative points, but …

B. I’ve never felt the sense of community at Prosebox that everyone says there is. I’ve found it near impossible to make connections with other writers. Maybe that’s just me; maybe it’s because I’m at a much different point in my life than when I came to Open Diary …

C. Yet I’ve had more interaction with a couple posts on OD than I’ve had here in months. More interaction means I’m more likely to return frequently. I don’t know what this says about the people returning to OD, or about me. Maybe I’m an attention whore and just like people noticing my work, even if it’s written for me.

D. I never had a paid OD subscription, so I was not screwed out on the money end. Those who were, I can understand why you’ve been pissed for years.

E. There is a place for both sites, IMO. Sometimes you want prime rib, other times you’d settle for another cut.

F. My rambling is done.
