has the phrase ‘I’m going to start my blog’ become the ‘I’m going to start my novel” of today?

I have an old school friend who is the only real writer I know (he studied English at college and everything) was writing to me and told me a long laundry list of things to work on, to improve and to get started. His website was one, natch, but the blog was the one that one that caught me, since I’d actually think I’d read his writing.

christ, I hope I can keep this up.
