I'm starting a new, anonymous blog. This one's fine for saying nice, anodyne things that you'd expect to hear from me - but that's all become a bit boring. I'll still update this one from time to time, but I've got controversial, salacious and even just private things to say which I don't want to say to the small audience I have, most of whom know me in real life and might recognise themselves in my tirades. Not you Ro, and not dear Chrissy of course... just people at work, and who inhabit my life. I can't write a decent character study (good, bad or indifferent) in a forum where I'm connected to my profile and thereby the people who know me.

So - I'm going to turn up in these very circles, quite soon, as somebody else. Someone who wants to observe and comment without the restrictions of being 'Susanna'. All the best writers have pen-names for their side projects and secret fetish work which might otherwise harm their reputations. As happy as I am with my life - my life is for me (and a few strangers in blogworld when it suits me!).

In fact - who's to say my alter ego is not already out there?
