screw the establishment


I do what I want!

Okay so this whole "weekly blogging" thing wasn't working for me. The idea was to give myself more time to come up with a clear, coherent post with extra editing and revision time. Well listen up babes; all it really meant was that I was blogging on a Sunday evening with a higher stress levels because I was worried that people's expectations would be raised. Well, you can lower those puppies right back down because I'm going back to daily blogging.

My fear is that daily blogging, for an extended period of time, may reveal some things about my thought process that I've been trying to conceal.  For example:

1. I often contradict myself.
2. My opinion can change at the drop of a hat (when I'm not being stubborn)
3. I relate issues to myself far more often that I am able to relate them to the world as a whole.
4. I still edit posts even after I've published them.
5. I'm a sensitive little cucumber wrapped up in all this bravado and sass.

So with all that being said, you can't get upset with me when frequent posting means topics running thinner and true feelings surfacing. As my original plan with weekly blogging was to have more time to write for myself, and as we know I rarely do anything without an audience, I will write to share those things with you and hope that someday I can stitch them together into something coherent. I'm not holding my breath, though. Really, I just enjoy daily writing and having a platform to store all of these strange thoughts that roll through my head on a daily basis. All of those imaginary conversations in the car, the time spent hashing out past experiences, stories and characters that are just begging to be put into a scene- this will all be yours. And that's okay with me. I'm a giver. Plus, with any luck, if I can get them out of my head and onto the "page" maybe I can sleep a bit better at night knowing there is some evidence that I was here, and that I had a voice, if even for a short while.

  2. I love this and it reminds me of my yoga (bear with me). I decided to not do so much yoga to have time to write and guess what? I stopped writing as well! I just started a thirty day yoga challenge and I am finding that if i commit to stepping onto the mat i will also put my butt in my writing chair. For some reason if i try to commit to just writing i phsyc myself out and wont. I know blogging is writting but to me it seems that your blogging is your way of letting other writing and other creative outlets flowing! I love your blog....oh and also seeing your daily posts gets my butt in the chair soooo you cant stop ;)
