Need a word for what we often call a blog but isn't really.
"Web-log" implies that it's like a log, that you're mostly talking about your life and your current thoughts; meanwhile many "blogs" are more accurately described as collections of essays.
I'm hoping to find a word for that which is shorter than "collection of essays".
Also, writing is hard. I'm so slow... 😑
@peterdrake That's an interesting one, in that it refers to the collection and the individual pieces.
But I think "column" is associated a bit too strongly with newspapers and suggests that the essays will be short and that there will regularly be a new one. And will be doing neither short nor regular, haha.
@peterdrake Honestly might go with this, haha. Not a drop-in replacement for 'blog' either of course, because of the negative connotation, but I like a bit of self-deprecating humour.
@eqyo Reflective Thoughts
@freeschool That actually works as a name for a section of a website, which is what I'm looking for. Or maybe even just "Thoughts".
Thinking about it, in a similar way I could just use "Essays" or "Writings"...
Thanks!
@eqyo Frayed Thoughts? ;)
@trinsec Hmmm...
"Unravelling reflections"?
"Worn-down musings"?
@eqyo Figments of my imagination?
@trinsec Trying to think of things that "Figments of my imagination" would be a good name for...
So far, I've concluded that it's not a good name for a cat. Too long (and plural, but mainly too long).
@eqyo Figment, on the other hand, would be a cool name for a cat familiar.
>I'm hoping to find a word for that which is shorter than "collection of essays".
Just "essays".
(The plural construction implies that it is a collection.)
@eqyo "column", as in a newspaper?
