I sometimes feels anti-Blogging. When the urge to post something creeps in or flashes like a lightning bolt in my brain, I procrastinate. I can Write the post when I get home. Or after completing the next mission in my video game-of-the-moment. Or after reading the next chapter or three in whatever book happens to hold my attention. The blogger app for my iPhone quit working with the latest iOS update.
Anything to not write a post. Or another short story.
And I feel guilty about it. I've invested almost 13 years into this little piece of the Internet, and letting it succumb to neglect just doesn't suit me...usually. I don't know why these weeks have heightened my weariness of blogging. Maybe too much social media overexposure has something to do with it: I rarely post on Facebook, spending more time uploading pictures to Instagram or to my Life List on the Audubon Bird Pro app. I deleted my Twitter account months ago. I occasionally play Words with Friends.
Or perhaps I need some kind of jolt to thrust me back into the blogging frame of mind.
So I've decided to try my hand (again) at NaNoWriMo, which begins in a few weeks. Perhaps that's the motivation I need to resuscitate my writing.
