As time drift forward so does the blog and so does the purpose of the blog. I don’t know that I’d call it an evolution over time. It has seen better days and has seen a few worse ones. I will say the blog feels stagnant, which is inline with my drained soul and emptiness of the idea well. I need to get rejuvenated, and I don’t actually have a clue how to do that.
I do know what doesn’t work: bad TV. Overworked mind doesn’t help much. Emotional distress? That’s a big distraction. All of these things tend to define my daily experience and that makes for bad writing.
my partner suggested I try to write some short stories to fall back in love with my crazy craft. Having knocked out this novel I feel like the time is right for it.
perhaps it will make the blog better—re-energize the thing. It needs it. I need it. One thing remains true. I started this ten minute rule as a daily touchstone. There is a great difference between a touchstone and a chore. This blog has begun to feel like the latter.
this must change in order for me to find a better way of being.
