How well do you know me?
And is it Kelly you know or is it the Don Mills Diva?
Are they the same person or is one an alter-ego, a character, constructed to appeal to, or provoke a reaction from, my readers?
Would it surprise you to hear me confess that the latter question is one I have asked myself on more than one occasion?
There are so many, many things about blogging that fascinate me and foremost among them is the notion that a blog might provide a space in which a person can construct an alternate identity.
That’s probably why I have spent the last several days obsessively reading Catherine Sanderson’s book Petite Anglaise to the detriment of pretty much everything else in my life.
Petite Anglaise is also the name of a blog that Sanderson has written since 2005 to document her life as an English ex-pat working and raising her toddler daughter in Paris. In Petite Anglaise the book, she provides an unflinching account of the events that lead her to leave her child’s father for one of her blog’s commenters and how the increasing popularity of her blog started to inform the way she viewed herself and ultimately conducted her life.
