Sometimes you have to keep starting over — adopt, adapt, improve.
I have been thinking about this blog quite a bit, but the thinking hasn’t turned into writing. I would have ideas for posts and start composing them in my head. I might even start scribbling in my journal. But nothing actually made it into a post and onto the site.
Then I started following a blog where the author posts almost daily (and it might truly be daily), and it is not uncommon that those posts don’t say much more than “It’s just not going to happen today, but I promise I am still here.” The daily posts aren’t the reason I started following. There is plenty of interesting material to read, but the consistency speaks to me. It dovetails nicely with my mantras of “the cumulative effect of incremental change” and “Stop dithering. Start doing.”
It might make me too self conscious to post every single day, but the corollary is to not worry so much about the quality that I second guess myself into not writing at all. The quality will come with practice, and not writing is not practicing.
I have ideas for other projects, and writing about them will help them develop and get finished, so at the moment I am thinking that it will be a winning situation on multiple fronts.
Right now, however, it is late, and I have a few more daily tasks to attend to before turning in for the night.
I’ll be back tomorrow.

I blog weekly. That seems to be a good period of time for me. I simply don’t do enough knitting to make it interesting to post daily. I’m not trying to sell my website, etc. so my blogs can be what works for me.

I have come across the weekly recommendation numerous times, and I tried it at some point, but I ended up with performance anxiety. Was it too long? Too short? Enough editing? Enough pictures? It’s a thing I do. Everything had to be a brilliant magnum opus, so I ended up not writing, which completely defeated the purpose of the project. This time around my goal is shorter entries and more stream of consciousness, or at least less self-consciousness. There will be moments of erudition and moments of crap. I am embracing them all.
