blogical concerns

Of course I worry about possibly offending someone or hurting their feelings by using them in my stories, but my sister has other concerns about the potential dangers of blogging. She warned me against using stories of my past escapades for fear I might appear less than pure to potential future employers. I suppose that's a valid concern, really. We all like to think we'd never consider working for anyone less open-minded than ourselves, but in today's economy, we may all find ourselves takin' what they're givin' cause we're glad to be workin' for a livin' (as the song goes, more or less).

I wonder about that though. I mean, as a writer, do I have to concern myself with whether or not some future potential employer might take my fiction for fact? Or even use my fact-based fiction as a reason not to hire me? I guess the answer is an obvious "Yes." but I hate it.

I suppose I could start a new anonymous blog and write over there and simply journal pc stuff here. I don't know. I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. So far I don't see much danger in continuing just as I have been. Why complicate things when it's difficult enough for me to keep a blog going for more than a few weeks?
