I was reading, this morning, about how blogs can help writers get their work done: write the novel, play, short story; get files or paperwork organized, defragment the hard drive, or simply update the website. I agree it’s a good idea, but I hate the word “blog.” Don’t know why, just do. Saying it aloud puffs out the cheeks (and I’ve too much cheeks as it is) and it sounds like the bathroom sink being unclogged—clogged, blogged. Yech.

I’ve decided on the word “onjour,” pronounced “uhn-joor.” If weB LOG, which is nothing more that an online journal, can become blog, then ONline JOURnal can become OnJour, or, less formally, onjour. I think it sounds better than blog, even if it is two letters longer. I don’t care if it falls into common usage (I think I’d prefer it did not), but I like it, and I’m going to use it.

Welcome to the new Humidity Moon OnJour.
