Some thoughts on blogging

Obviously, this is the first post since Monday. It's my life I reserve that right, but it does draw the title of the blog into question. Here are some thoughts to get me back into it.

The proximal cause of missing some days is I've had a 1000 page book out of the library that's highly addictive and occupying my evenings. I've also been staying at work a lot, enough that I've been getting a bit burnt out, and this can't become the priority. Lastly, my first three part post on a fairly weighty topic kind of turned me off. It's hard to make multi-parters readable, and its just harder to write a post when I'm worried about being misconstrued on a serious topic.

I was thinking of reconsidering the blog at the end of the month, anyway. It's hard to walk the line of writing for myself and writing publicly. For whatever reason I think this gives me something more than a journal, so it's de jure public, but since no one wants to read paragraphs of random every day, it becomes de facto private. It just changes things in terms of motivation.

But I will try to keep posting here starting in March. I'll allow a lot of missed days when work steps in, but otherwise just keep it short. And I'll aim to avoid multiparters, even though they have advantages. It just makes weird expectations.
