Too Little, Too Late

I’m a writer. I write much of the time. And yet, here is my first blog and I don’t keep it up. I get a lot of ribbing from my only child (a girl-child I admire greatly) and I read other writer’s blogs. Many of those wonderful people post at least weekly, and some much more often. I congratulate them and admire their dedication and time-management skills.

I like to think I multi-task well (I’ve always told myself that I did), but the truth is so obvious even I can see it now. I can’t handle more than a couple of things at one time. The older I get, the more “chicken moments” I have. I’m not talking about being fearful or afraid. I’m talking about setting out on a task and being distracted in route to the completion of that task. Paula and I refer to that as a “Oh, look! A chicken!” moment, when we become completely derailed from the track and go off to an unscheduled detour. I also refer to them as “bunny trails.”

So maybe just a few words, more frequently, is the answer. I’ve read the rules carefully, and I don’t see anywhere it says you must post 500 words or more on a blog to constitute a blog entry. With that understanding, I’ll work at doing better about posting. Someone once told me (I think it was that same girl-child) that if you stop posting, people stop checking the blog.

Okay everybody! Check it out! I’ve posted one and it’s been LESS than one year!!
