The Beat of Your Drum

The last week has been hectic. That's not to say it's a bad thing to be busy, but there is a lot of different things going on right now. Unfortunately, that means that posting sort of gets put on the back burner.

Of course, being able to balance everything and not taking on too much is important, too. So I'm going to keep posting, but I am going to try to make them more fluid - which is another way of saying stream of consciousness. I am just going to write and hope something moderately intelligent, or at least intelligible comes out.

Here's hoping.

But, assuming I can manage everything, it will hopefully also be a temporary shift. I like to consider topics and focus on one idea. It results, generally, in a much better post. I must admit, however, that just writing like I am now is somewhat freeing, and far less stressful. I've put more on the page in the last 5 minutes than I have in two weeks. And even if its repetitious, poorly written, and boring, I could at least make the argument that something is better than nothing. You may disagree.

Fortunately for me, however, since I most of my readership doesn't post comments anyway, I don't really have to worry about negative feedback. There are a few exceptions, of course (Mom), but honestly, the advantage of humming your own tune is twofold: Either you drown out everyone else, or you don't even realize they aren't listening. You've just got make sure you don't stop.

Hmmmm...Uh, hello?
