Out of practice

Before writing this blog, I sat at my laptop to decide what to write about today. There is a lot, but not a lot, of stuff I want to discuss on this silly little blog of mine. Please join me as I try to think as I write. Welcome to Monday, by the way. Let’s try not to have too much of a moan.

I miss this blog. I miss writing it twice a week and planning it weeks in advance. It may not seem like it recently, but I became good at both at various points. I had put off starting this blog for ages. I didn’t know how it would be structured. The whole Monday/Friday thing came to me one night, and it seemed like the perfect combination of the types of writing I wanted to try my hand at more consistently. Over the past year, that has become more and more difficult to obtain. Although I don’t work “full time”, balancing my creative projects, like the blog, has been draining. I am not complaining because I know this story is far from new for creatives like me. This doesn’t make it any easier.

At the end of the day, I think I am out of practice. I spent a lot of time sitting here and trying to process my thoughts as I wrote them. I have concluded that I am simply out of practice and need to step back and try again. This isn’t me announcing some indefinite hiatus or the discontinuation of the blog. I just wanted to lay it all out for your sake and my sake as well. I am looking forward to the Christmas period and starting to get back in the swing of things in the new year.

Thank you for letting me express myself. I honestly had no idea where this blog was going. Thankfully, I at least know what it will be called today. Thank you for reading. See you on Friday. Thank you for your time.
