[stylist] Being on the List

[Shelley Alongi]

HI Everyone, Just a note about the list as a member of the division I value the opportunity to contribute to a discussion of writing as it pertains to all ol of our endeavors, including writing as blind writers and our various experiences. I remembered after I unsubscribed my primary account to this list that I had never unsubscribed my secondary account. You might understand my personal frustration with finding an overabundance of email on subjects I find neither interesting or beneficial to me as a writer, blind or otherwise. Working forty hours a week does not allow me the time to sort through all kinds of email and in order to maintain my balance as a person I need to restrict things to those things which I find most useful for me. I do find this list useful at times for purposes of writing or communicating with division members about writing, so I am happy to stay subscribed via my secondary account. I check this account every week or so and will be
 happy to reply to any email that grabs my attention. Just to let all of you know I'm more interested for purposes of this list in discussing writing rather than blindness related topics, this is my own personal preference. When issues arise in my own life that are directly related to blindness I tend to deal with them. I don't particularly benefit from discussing blindness with blind people. There are many other subjects and concerns out there to discuss I'd rather focus all my energy on discussing them and leaving blindness related issues to times when they directly affect me. 
 
This is just my take on the whole thing. I look forward to comunicating with you in the writing realm. Happy writing! Best week!
