A couple of nights ago, TW was stalking reading my blog and said, “You missed a day!” I growled and told her that I had not missed a day — Bluehost was down so I blogged to Posterous, which would normally have auto-crossposted here — but Bluehost was down, so it didn’t.
I did blog that day.
The night that she was stalking my blog, I didn’t blog here at all. Or on Posterous either. But, I didn’t miss a day. I blogged on BlogHer.com.
I sat at my desk that day, for a good long while, trying to decide whether it was important that I blog HERE everyday or whether it was just important that I write something — somewhere.
I decided it was the latter and I just shut down my computer and let it go.
A couple of days later, I’m still ok with that decision.
That doesn’t mean there won’t be days when I blog in more than one place. It really just means that I want to blog more often — somewhere, anywhere, not just HERE in THIS space. I should really work harder on spreading the writing around. Crazy in Chicago? Johnny Mac Pippin? Prairie Dog Digest? All of those could use some attention. Or, I need to retire them.
All of this might be my way of saying that I really need to get back to work on that blogging calendar I was working on in January and let go because I didn’t think I needed it. Or because I convinced myself I didn’t need it. Someone remind me to stop taking shortcuts and just DO IT.
