Today I blogged for the first time in five days. Except for absences from home—and those mostly before we had a laptop—I don’t think I’ve ever gone five days without posting something to whatever blog I was running at the time. Yesterday I looked at the datestamp on the latest entry and was surprised I had let four days go by without writing anything here.
Simply put, I think my juices have run dry. After six-plus years of being able to express whatever I wanted to say right here, whenever it popped into my pretty little head, I appear to be no longer capable of the kind of lengthy writing I used to do in, say, early 2003 or before.
I think I should take more of these long pauses. I think I should limit myself, at least for a while, to only posting once a week. I can save up stuff to write about, once I can once again think of any, and hopefully give it a better effort than I would if I simply sat down at the keyboard as soon as it came to me. Maybe I’d even find a better class of subject matter than I’ve been resorting to lately.
So, see you next Monday. Or the one after that, if necessary.
