Thinking about making changes

I feel so stressed about my writing…blogs, books-in-process, etc.

I’d like to “blog” like I did back in the day when I just blogged about whatever I felt like at the moment. But then I split up my general blog into separate blogs on specific topics (like this and this and this and this)… and started feeling “obligated” and “serious.”

Oh! Just a thought! People keep emailing me with questions about this and that, and I do research and answer them … and if they are interested in those topics, maybe others are, too?

And if I could just blog on “whatever” topics I happened to feel like at the moment, maybe it would feel better (even though “they” say you should be consistent — I don’t think any of my “followers” would really care, though.

And when I get excited/worked up/opinionated about something and start “blabbing” about it to people, maybe I should just write it down.

And when I wonder about something, maybe I should write it up (after researching it, of course).

I love researching thing…but sometimes I feel on places like Quora that some things are so obvious and I wish people would just look it up themselves — so no need to answer those kinds of questions.

A friend sent me a bunch of funny stuff to read — and that reminded me how much I was enjoying writing humour before summer started.

[I journaled this on July 28, 2017 — and it has turned out to be a re-start in my life. You’ll see more about the process, coming up soon :-) ]
