Like many writers, I’m guilty of neglecting my blog. Not
because I’m too busy to write short pieces, but because content is key… and I’m
not so great with the create-your-own-non-fiction content. Give me a topic, and
I’ll come up with something. Ask me to come up with my own, and I’ll find
one-thousand-and-one ways to procrastinate… starting with Facebook and ending
with scrubbing behind the toilet.
I’m issuing myself a challenge for 2015, one that you can
take up yourself if you’re trying to blog while caught in the trap of “I’m
all out of interesting ideas”. Every time I come across a topic that elicits an
emotional response from me, I’m going to write about it. I’m not going to
sensor my true feelings, nor am I going to edit out my politically-socially-emotionally
unacceptable thoughts. This is, after all, my blog. It even has my name on it.
For those who enjoy the words, thanks in advance
for the reads, the comments, and the shares. For those who don’t, I’m pretty
sure you know how to change the channel (and by channel I mean URL). Just try
not to “unfollow” me because I said one thing that’s off-putting. Instead,
start a conversation. I love reading other people’s opinions. I also
love to argue… sometimes I even do it when I know I’m wrong, just to see how
far things can go… it’s the writer in me, often playing devil’s
advocate… always searching out new material.
