Ditchin' the Rules

I have a text file on my desktop which lists all the things I'd like to blog about. (Whenever something comes to mind, I just open up the file and add the topic.) There are about 10 topics listed in there right now, and it's funny, but I always thought, "Well, I don't want to write more than a couple posts in one day, because I don't ever want to run out of things to write about. It would be better to just write one or two a day than to write a whole bunch at once and then go a long time without writing at all." This makes sense to me, but the thing is, I usually end up going about a week between postings anyway. Ideally I would write something every day, but much of the time, I'm just not motivated to do so. This is sad, too, because I actually really enjoy blogging. It's a minor hobby which suits me very well. I think it's good for me to force myself to write, even if it's about "nothing" and even if it's just a little bit every once in a while.

Now that I've realized that my little rule isn't working out too well, I've decided to just blog whenever I feel like it, and if I feel like writing a bunch of posts at once, then so be it. Like today. Emily's doing a pretty good job of entertaining herself (more on that later), so I'm trying to take advantage. Hence, the multiple posts between yesterday and today.

The last couple of posts were on fresh topics. This next one, however, is one I'm pulling out of my file, so it's actually sort of old by now.

And I'll try to post as much as I can, even though you, dear readers, hardly ever comment! And I know you do visit, because sometimes I even hear you refer to something I've written! Come on now, say something!! ;-)
