Life, Knitting and the Pursuit of Roller Coasters

1. There were several general maintenance things I’d let slide on the blog. I think the site feels a little fuller and a little cleaner now.
2. The bright lamp at my bedside works well in a pinch for last minute photos late at night, but I really should plan better and take photos during the day.
3. I don’t take photos as often as I could, or as often as I should.
4. Some days when I don’t think I can come up with anything to write about, I can still manage to find something.
5. Some days, not so much.
6. Blogging on the weekend feels a little like working on the weekend, I’d rather not.
7. However, I’m far more likely to have daylight available to photograph stuff on the weekends.
8. Some of the posts that have formed in my head but never made it to the blog were still good to write out. Writing has healing powers even if it never makes it to the front page.
9. I’m much better at drafting posts in my head when the pressure to produce something daily is off.
10. I’m far more compelled to leave comments on other people’s blogs when I’m blogging frequently.
11. I’m still not convinced I’ve found the right balance when it comes to replying to comments left on my blog.
12. Pneumonia sucks.
13. I’m motivated to post more often now. But I won’t keep up the every day thing. I want my blog posts to reflect quality over quantity. This month verified that I won’t produce quality on a daily basis.
14. Most importantly, I can do it. I can approach a task on a daily basis for a month through sickness and boredom. I don’t always do the best job at it, but I can do it.

I’ve already got a few new blog posts stewing around in my head, but it’ll be a few days before any of you see them…
