It’s always scary when I write an article for a new outlet, and such was especially the case with my first post on By Common Consent post (it posted yesterday).
For those of you who don’t know about it, BCC is a…hmmm…I’d call it an intellectual Mormon blog, but they might chafe at the term “intellectual.” Who knows. It’s a place where smart mormons talk about smart mormon things, and it has an incredibly engaged and vocal audience of readers and commenters. If you say something dumb on there, they’ll nicely let you know (and back it up with chapter and verse, or sociological studies, or Kierkegaard or something). Anyway, I’ve been a fan and off-and-on reader of the site for a few years now, so it was a thrill and a horror to see my own ideas discussed by people much more intelligent than me–I learned a lot yesterday about the topic I wrote about.
The post is online here, if you’re interested. Not interested in the mormon stuff? I wrote a much less scary first post for a friend’s site called TheNYCityDish here, on my hunt for the best horchata in Manhattan. (it’s on the Upper East Side–bummer)
