Perhaps I have less to say?
Or maybe I am busy.
I also thought that I may have just slipped into the habit of doing a post once a week.
So, I am going to see if doing a post every day for a month will get my mind into blog mode again.
Every day for one month I will post something. It may well be as boring as can be and totally pointless but I will do it irrespective.
I am planning on doing a similar thing in the studio.
Once a day I open my sketch book and do a drawing, painting or whatever.
I wonder if it is like exercise. You just do it and get results even if you don't feel like it. Were I to wait until I felt like exercising it would not happen. So maybe the same thing happens with writing and drawing.
I did a similar thing with reading books. Just made myself read each day. Only a chapter. After a couple of weeks I got back into it.
Be prepared to be bored over the next month!

I'm the same. I sort of 'got out' of writing posts last year when I was having chemo for cancer. Besides which we weren't exactly touring the countryside or doing anything terribly interesting, and I was pretty sure that folks didn't want to read about me and my aches and pains. Now I am trying to get back to blogging at least once a week. so, don't feel that its just you.
ReplyDeleteI doubt very highly we'll be bored. Either way, I'll be glad to read a post from you every day. I've pretty much abandoned blogging, it was used against me so many times that it's hard to enjoy doing it, knowing that others will read it and start trouble. So for now, I'll just content myself by reading only.
ReplyDeleteI believe that you should post when you want to, but I understand the desire for more structure and regularity with it, too.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to do the same thing, starting on May 1, but decided that it was too much work for me.
That being said...I can understand your motivation and encourage your current enterprise. I imagine that it will change the rhythm of your writing, and you may be surprised at what comes up over the course of the month.
Technogram: I imagine it would be very hard to be motivated to do much during chemo. And I do understand about not wanting to talk about aches and pains. I restrict my talking about depression because it could be seen as, well, boring as shit and I don't wish to be defined by it anyway.
ReplyDeleteOnce a week is good. Once a month is good too. Just doing it when you feel like it is all you need to aim for.
Karen: Ha ha, well, I could talk about the contents of my fridge! I think it is very annoying for you that your posts have been used against you. It says a lot about some people doesn't it.
Cameron: I do often feel like posting and then just don't. I am inclined to be a bit of a procrastinator. And sometimes a challenge is very motivating for me.
All in all, I do feel I need to pull my finger out sometimes about a lot of things.
