My life is at a turning point. I must either change or...well, there's really no alternative, so I guess I just need to change. One of those changes revolves around being more diligent in my writing life. That includes time spent journaling on my blog here. I guess that's good for anyone reading (does anyone actually read this thing?)
With that being said I need to learn to do this whole blogging thing right if I'm actually going to do it. To be honest, I don''t know a whole lot about blogs. It looks simple enough when you're reading one but like any great art it only looks simple because so much work has gone into it. That's only applicable to good blogs, of course, the crap ones really don't require that much work.
This year I have found writing to be that way also. I used to be able to get by with just writing off the cuff and it worked pretty well. The more I try to take my writing to the next level, however, the more I find myself preparing before writing. It's worth it, of course, and I'm getting better at it but I still hate doing it. It's so time consuming and it's not nearly as much fun as actually writing.
I guess that's part of changing though - you have to start doing things you didn't like to do previously and maybe even learn to like them. We will see.
