Someone asked me recently if I still blog. I felt the shame creeping up my face before realizing she hadn't actually read my blog recently, so it was but an innocent question, not an accusation. I relaxed a bit.
"Well, not as much as I used to. Now it's just a couple times a month rather than several times a week. I guess I decided I'd rather post about important stuff I really want people to read rather than just my ramblings and musings."
"I like your ramblings and musings!" my friend interjected.
"Well, so often I'll think of a topic that would be great for the blog, but I've already forgotten it an hour later, so by the time I'm in front of the computer, I'm without good material! In fact, the other night, I couldn't sleep because my mind was racing with potential blog topics. I decided to type them up as a memo on my phone so I wouldn't forget." I handed her the phone.
I don't know if she was confused by my middle-of-the-night drivel or just unimpressed, but she handed my phone back to me with a weird smile on her face. But then, she's an author who's already completed several novels, so she's probably used to reading much better material than phone memos.
That being said, the next few posts are a sample of things I've been thinking about. Trust me, there's more. I've just forgotten the rest.
