The Future of this Blog

Just days from my self surrender and this blog has over 4,000 hits. I know some friends read the blog. I've heard both on the blog and privately from anonymous readers. I wonder who the general audience is. Do you accidentally come across this blog due to a google search? Did you learn about it on prisontalk.com? Were you intentionally looking for information about self-surrendering or FMC Carswell or a women's prison camp? I never changed the subtitle of the blog, because I was sentenced to a prison camp, but like so much in our lives, where we are actually designated is out of our control.

This blog and Dragonfly Hazel has helped me in many ways over the past 6 weeks getting prepared. I've had a place to share my thoughts, fears, experiences, and hopes with others. It keeps me grounded and gives me a responsibility I hold myself to. I believe I've only missed one day since I started this blog. Feedback inspires me to keep it going throughout prison and maybe even beyond.

It will not be maintained daily while I am incarcerated and. I will not be the one updating it. I plan to share insights and thoughts with Survivor, who will share them with you. I will try my best to tell my story from inside as I have from outside. All messages and communication is monitored, however, so I will be somewhat edited in voice and description. I apologize in advance. I will try to theme the pieces that are for this blog, like I usually do, so it won't all be a look at a daily life (although it may be an interesting post now and then).

If people have questions for me, please feel free to post them as comments. One of my friends who reads this blog will reach out to me, ask me, and get back to you (although it won't be overnight). Comments and/or questions can also be sent to dragonflyhazel@gmail.com.

Even though I won't be here to read it, please, let's not stop the conversation!

6 days til self surrender.
