Con<\/a> started it.<\/p>\n

After her blog was hacked, she mentioned that she still wanted to keep blogging, but was not sure what form it should take. “Me too” I thought.<\/p>\n

I love the clarity of thought that is forced by blogging and the challenge to get a message clear before one reaches TL;DR zone. I love the surprise at the end of the post when I find out what I really thought about something. I love being forced to get my facts straight and to create an argument as I write. I love the record it keeps of both thought and fact. I love the feeling that someone is reading what I write or maybe that no-one is,\u00a0 and the conversation that is sparked when readers share what they know. I also love co-creating with Con.<\/p>\n

So – Fortnight Question<\/a> (FQ) is our response to commit to doing what we love in a way that is manageable and will keep us interested. Here is how we describe it on the blog:<\/p>\n

\u201cFortnight Question\u201d is a commitment that we will write at least one new post every 14 days, answering a question posed by ourselves, each other or by readers of the blog. We will answer with opinion rather than carefully constructed research. We want to write, rather than be right.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We have launched it on the first day of #blogjune, a collaborative effort where Australian library bloggers (and friends) aim to make a post a day for the whole of June. You can see more about the event and who is playing on LibariesInteract ,\u00a0Blogging every day of June? #blogjune<\/a> . During #blogjune we will both answer the same question over two days, then start on a new one for the next two days. Then we go on to our regular aim of at least two posts per month. I don’t think I will write much on Librarians Matter, though.<\/p>\n

Of course you want to nip over to FQ right now, so here is some more information to get you started.<\/p>\n
