A blog is born!

And unlike a baby, it had to be named before it could be born. Also unlike a baby, the blog has no gender. But it was still difficult to choose a name.

Why Creative Fog?

• because fog  creates a mysterious, writer-ly atmosphere. It seems like anything can  happen in the fog — it’s secretive, ephemeral, and fleeting. Much like the creative muse.
• because fog is iconic to San Francisco, where I live — it existed  long before the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, or even the city itself.

      

• because fog, as Carl Sandburg wrote, “comes on little cat feet…” — that’s how ideas creep up on me, out of a creative fog.
• because fog refreshes what is stale and tired, including my imagination.
• because “fog” rhymes with “blog.”
