redbrickrose, I now have a shiny Dreamwidth account. The username is joy. Plans so far:
1) I'm sticking with LJ until and unless Dreamwidth comes up with a way to subscribe to LJ journals without LJ users having to do anything about it. At such a time, I will:
2) Use Dreamwidth to crosspost and scan the flist. That way everyone who knows me on LJ will still see my posts and can still respond to them, and I will still see everyone I wish to read whether they move or not. At some point in the future, if most people I want to read/people who are reading me have moved to Dreamwidth:
3) I might lock comments so you can only reply here, so I don't have to jump between the two services, but I don't see this happening unless there is mass exodus, which doesn't seem to be happening as yet. So anyway:
4) I won't be worrying about me moving away and not seeing any of you EVER AGAIN, like I totally did that one time. Have I mentioned I hate changing my mind?
5) Instead of doing 15 minute posts I've been trying to do "one concept" posts. Sometimes this takes way longer than 15 minutes, because I have to delete so much. But I save the deletions in a file that hopefully I'll go back to, and hopefully, I'll round out each deleted idea, and make it its own post. That way the posts are short and easy to read, and the comments are short and easy to reply to, and even though the posts take a little longer to make maybe I won't feel like they eat so much time.
6) On Dreamwidth I will also be experimenting and having fun! Woohoo!
