Hmm…. So a busy month in December – off to Brazil for the World Ultimate Beach Championships in Maceio then two weeks of heads-down essay writing on my MA. Certainly no time for blogging…
And then last week I looked at visitor stats… what should have been no surprise – an absence of posts has declined into an absence of people checking for posts!
So here’s the dilemma – post more regularly (takes time, do I have enough interesting things I want to share regularly here), post less frequently (less chance people will bother to check if there’s only a post every now and again), stop posting altogether (seems a shame).
Part of the problem is not the not having ideas to post. Rather it’s a slightly perfectionist tendency of wanting to polish an idea pre-sharing because of the vaguely public arena of the blog. But maybe this is daft – the point of this blog is quite explicit – to stimulate conversation with friends and share the sorts of ideas I used to send in letters. So maybe the answer is simply to blog more frequently but with less fully formed thoughts – rough diamonds (or maybe not diamonds at all…). Yes, that’s what I’ll do.
Let me know if you think shorter, less thought out is more or less interesting !
