I haven’t been posting.
Not because I haven’t wanted to, because I do think in “blog post” terms on most days. I am often thinking “oh, this would make a good post” and then by the end of the day there has just not been the intellectual energy to write about it. Time has been tighter, since I have been subbing a bit more lately, but honestly it is the “perfection” thing that has me bogged down.
Even though I haven’t been writing, I have still been reading my favorite blogs religiously and I click away from many of them, who post just about Every. Single. Day. with this incredible envy. They obviously sit down and whip out their posts each day as part of their routine. Sometimes they write about “blog burnout” or “writer’s block”, but pretty much they are like the mailman: come rain, hail, sleet or snow……somehow they are just there.
Not me.
Nooooo. I have to sit and weigh every word. I have to turn something I really like to do and often comes pretty easily into something that is hard and laborious because I might not say it just the right way. So let’s just not say it all, right? I mean, it takes TIME to think of all the right words, and I just haven’t had enough to do that. Hence the monthlong gap between posts. I’m not sure if anyone even reads me anymore. Gah!
So my goal is to try to post daily. No thinking too much allowed. Just writing.
See you tomorrow?
