“Every blog post does not have to be a full-length essay.
“Nor must it be accompanied by the perfect photo.
“In fact, it doesn’t even have to be particularly smart or funny.”
There. Maybe now I’ll post more often.
I think about writing here at least several times a day. While getting Claire her bottle at 2 AM, I get hit with ideas for kick-ass posts and scrawl them on napkins. Great stories unfurl in my head like a dropped spool of ribbon. But when it comes down to it, I can’t muster the time or energy to tear myself away from my work and craft a respectable entry.
So, I’m saying to hell with respectable entries. Every day, come hell or high water, I will take a break from writing about colon cleansing and wedding planning and coffee machines — and the hundreds of other topics people pay me to write about — and come here to indulge in my own unpaid musings, however trivial or inane. Like those everyday Larry David moments (i.e. bulletproof packaging), funny things the kids say (”Mommy, you’re too old to wear that”), or the deeper stuff that robs me of sleep and sends my heart racing in the wee hours.
Not because anyone is chomping at the bit to read it, but because it feeds my soul and gets me in the mindset to pursue my life’s dream. And isn’t that more important than paying the electric bill?
