Daily Blogging Kind of Sucks
July 25, 2012 § 2 Comments
It’s one of those days when I wouldn’t be doing a blog post if I hadn’t made the commitment.
I nearly skipped it, thinking: who’d care? But then I remembered the experiences I’ve had in the past when I sat down at the keyboard with no desire to write, no idea of what I would write, but I did the work anyway.
Something came. Or I brought something into being. Not to sound like a creator or anything. But yeah, I’m talking about creating.
Take last November, for example, when I blogged every day for a month. I ended up with some material that wouldn’t exist if I hadn’t pushed myself. There were actually a couple of pieces I felt proud of.
That’s definitely not going to happen tonight. But at least I’m here. For a couple minutes. Honoring the intention. Spewing sentence fragments, and toying with annoying jargon.
“Honoring the intention?” Ugh. I’m going to honor my bed time.

You crack me up! Thanks for being real…and for posting a random picture to go with the post. It’s cute!
Thanks, S. :)
I should have noted, the photo isn’t so awfully random. I take a picture every day. That’s yesterday’s picture: “207/311″. You’ve heard of “Project 365″ (This is a leap year, thus the “366″)? It’s had a lot of meaning for me since I started it in 2011. I wrote more about that here: http://roolily.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/ritua/
