Going private

Friends! Strangers! Passers-by! Now and then I choose to password-protect a post of mine, for whatever reason. If you would like the password to these posts, please leave a comment on this post- it will ask you for your email, and then I will have it, and I will email you the password. And I do thank you for your continued readership!

And everyone who comments will be added! I want as many readers as possible!

Hurrah!

  1. I am not afraid to be a non-joiner ;)

    Ive enjoyed your writing very much- and I find a sadness arrives at hearing this news…

    best

  2. Sunny

    Hi Carrot, I would like to be added to your list.

  3. Jess

    oh yes, please add me.

  4. Wally

  5. Joanna

    I’ve never met you, but I enjoy your blog. Add me please?

  6. stacia

    i would love to keep reading!

  7. ada

    me too, me too!
    please and thankyou

  8. desert girl

    Please include me as well.

    Thanks

  9. I’d like to be added too, and I’m curious about who you’re hiding from, if not the abundance of strangers who will be commenting on this post?

    Will there be an interview process to qualify? I would love to be asked a series of ambiguous questions with no right answers. (Does that sound sarcastic? I’m totally serious, in a humorous way.)

    I can’t wait to hear what you’ll say in the private of your locked up blog. “I can write about whatever I want” is truly intriguing.

  10. Tom G

    I too am intrigued. I shall sign on the internet dotted line!

  11. Shardrol

    Nothing more intriguing than the private thoughts of a good writer – count me in, if you please.

  12. Buffalo

    I’d enjoy being able to read future episodes in the continuing saga of your well spent life.

  13. Ben

    I found this blog too recently to lose it now. I would like to be added to the list.

  14. 3 Speed

    I can has add?

  15. 721sandwiches

    Hm. Got this email address? ‘Cause it’s not asking me to give one, but maybe that’s an automatic thing. If you’re not saying whatever you want, then I’m looking forward to what else there is to say.

    (Instead of going private, I just made my blog less interesting again. So maybe this is a good move you’re making.)

  16. Noah

    I really like reading your blog! i found it from your post on craigslist, and have been reading it since!

    -Noah

  17. Count me in Carrot!

    But I understand and agree to going private. And that whole small-town thing, too (having lived in numerous small towns). If I had a bigger readership than say… three… I’d probably be paranoid someone I didn’t really want reading my blog might find it and figure out who I was, LOL! ^.^ I would certainly write less, too…

  52. zach

    add me please, Carrot!

  53. megan

    i’ve been silently reading for months now…

    don’t leave me now.
    put me on your list, please.
    if you want me to comment, i surely will.

    i am jumping on freights in about two weeks. maybe i will see you on the road, then.

  96. Arby

    Carrot,
    I’ve been enjoying following your story for some time now and it brought a smile to my face to learn you’re up in Alaska. I lived there for all-too-short a time and hope to go back someday, in the meantime, it’s nice to hear some news from “home”.

    You’re certainly an inspiration in my life, sedentary as it is at the moment. Take care up there, in Alaska.

    If you’d care to add me to your list of readers, I’d be glad of it.

    Thanks!
    ~Arby~

  102. My, but you are popular and fancy now. Look at this! Everyone love Carrot Quinn! Hurrah hurrah!

    I am on the East Coast again, Carrot Quinn. I am thinking of you right now and maybe next month as I hurry on and on. Soon I will be close to Asheville, where we last truly spoke and I was bitten by the groundhog. Making eye contact with you in a busy portland coffee shop three months later doesn’t count.

    I would like your password protected business, and I would like some of your time one day, to sit and chat and discuss old things and new things.

    I hope you are well,
    Micah

  103. Laura

    Howdy.
    I would very much like to read your story polished and whole.
    You write with the kind of earnestness and character that far too many english teachers have tried to stamp out of far too many young minds yearning to be validated.

  104. Lindsey

    If you please, you’re an inspiration, I too would like to join the mass of people asking to be a part of your life, as unconnected as we are.

    Thank you so much,
    Lindsey

  107. megan

    please add me as well! this is one of my favorite blogs.

  108. Dalice

    Howdy! I dreamed about you last night! We met in San Francisco and it was raining, and everyone was sledding down an icy slope on cheap metal sleds. And you had this sideways eyebrow piercing. You were with another girl, presumably your lady friend, and you were famous and it seemed like you were over the novelty of it. I approached you and introduced myself, but you passed me by on your way inside a house. As you shut the door I shouted (a bit pathetically, I think) “But you’re my favorite writer!”
    It was comically sad and senseless, and I hope you’re having a good day. If you wouldn’t mind me reading, I’d appreciate the password to your top secret words. Good day!

  109. learnestly

    Hello Carrot,
    Because of your mis-placed post that was placed in correct order, i spent hours last night enraptured by your writing. Yay archives! i found out i know a few people in common with you, not just sweet genius Detail Collector….though i don’t think we’ve ever met. I would love to have the password to read your protected posts. email me: good and green at g mail dot com, if you want elaboration on mutual connections!
