Blogging

I’ve always liked my writing style. It’s sort of like the way I talk. It is something I do that I’m proud of, and there are not so many things in my life like that. However, I also don’t seem to be able to do anything serious with it. I made a pledge to write a blog post every day, and failed. I missed multiple days, and even skipped a few of my GIVEIT100.com videos.

I wake up each morning and start a fairly regular routine. I surf a series of web sites every day, and then start to work through my new emails and my daily TO-DO list. Writing a blog a day is a new task, and I have not actually added it to the TO-DO list, so I forget about it. I’m not always motivated to write first thing inn the morning, but then as the day progresses, I am even less likely to return and type.

I tried writing on my phone or tablet outside during the day, but often that doesn’t happen either.

It’s hard.

Then I write, out of obligation rather than because I want to, and the topics are forced or timed when I’m not really in a creative mood. I write short blogs, or notes like this one instead – and I don’t feel the same pride. Then I lose my excitement for writing.

I have a new respect for creative writers who do it for their profession. There must be a point where it gets easier. Like a runner second strength… When you do it for 20 days straight, maybe it becomes a part of your routine. A habit. I’m not there yet.

I have a list of topics to write about, but my mind doesn’t always work that way. I can’t re-force a good idea and write about it.

sigh.

I’ll keep trying. Every so often I’ll post an entry about the progress, instead of a topic.

This is where I’m honest, right

I'd like to think I could be honest again, because I think I'm worth a second look. I only feel this is true. When I'm high. I did a huge thing today. I just did it. I got high on a drug that isn't weed. Let me lead into that. I have a story. I'm an interesting...

Same accident. Different door

So as of 8:14 a.m. on Tuesday August 2nd I am possibly missing a cat, or not one may have escaped outside which is really bad for at least one or two of the cats and reasonably bad for the third. If it's the bad cat and I don't mean bad cat I mean if it's the cat that...

Day two. It doesn’t get easier..

Doing pretty much the same thing every day doesn't necessarily get easier. For someone with attention deficit disorder it can actually get more difficult because each day it becomes less interesting and the temptation to be creative and look for ways to make it fun...

The Wednesday that was Monday

The Wednesday that was Monday

I woke up from another dream at around 7am today, a Wednesday, but it was a fresh awake wake-up. The first I’ve had since my medication screw up almost 3 weeks ago. I stood up, and didn’t lay back down again. I sat at the computer and started my morning work routine...
