Goddess of the Week: Seshat, goddess of blogging

If you write, you must thank the Egyptian goddess Seshat.  If you use a pen, or a keyboard, or for that matter, an iPhone or an inkwell, Seshat is your gal.  Her name means "she who scrivens," and she is the goddess of wisdom, knowledge, writing, and, therefore, blogging.  

She was very industrious.  She invented writing and measurement all so that you could keep track of your accomplishments and lovely little scribbles.  She took careful note of war prisoners and prizes, so if you have any of those, don't worry about where you put them.  She's got it all written down and will be able to remind you.  (Note to G.W.: This could prove a problem.)  And although she may remind you of Marian the Librarian, this goddess was no plain Jane.  She always wore leopard print.  

Channel this goddess: when you are blogging.  Duh.
