I have a few friends who have blogs that, despite their busy schedule and lives they are able to update on close to a daily basis. Then there's me, who is crazy busy, and I have good ideas and things that happen that I think, "I could blog about that", but I don't Mostly because I don't have, or maybe I just don't take the time to sit down and do it.
Blogs are hard. How do you keep up? I heard Scot McKnight, a professor and theologian here at North Park University, writes a week's worth of blogs over the weekend, then throughout the week posts them. Maybe I should try that sometime.
On a side note, I started journaling again. Someone that I lived with gave me a journal as a christmas gift 2 years ago, and i tried writing in it here and there since then. Maybe wrote in it about 4 times in the last two years, and I decided, this just isn't going to do. So I tossed it out and picked up a Moleskine journal with grid paper. In the two weeks I've had it I've used it twice as many times as the old one. I used to love the grid paper so much and use it all the time, but I haven't used one since I was gifted the other journal. Man. it's good to be back. I love the grid paper.

Hey Charles,
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific anecdote, and so close to my heart.
I have always found it to be easier for me to compose my thoughts longhand, rather than at a keyboard. While I was in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, I kept a journal by hand..in a Moleskin notebook!
I didn't think i would keep up with my blog, but after a while, I was compelled to write, to the point that if I went to bed without posting, I couldn't fall asleep. The downside is that I now stay up way too late. But after I write something, I feel much better and drift off faster.
You will be embarking on some wonderful journeys in the next few months. I am sure, as you build up a pipeline of stories you are anxious to tell, you will become a regular poster.
The point is to have fun, write whenever you like whatever you like. I for one will follow you either way.
