Because I’m sure I’ve written them. Lots and lots of posts, things that I wanted to say, things I wanted to share. It’s just that they are nowhere to be found.
I thought they were here. I thought they were in my blog posts folder. Heck, I even thought some of them had been posted to the blog already. But they’re not here. Which I’m pretty sure means that I haven’t written (or posted) them. Because there is so much between me and the “post” button that I don’t even know what I have and haven’t said anymore.
So I’m behind. Way behind.
And grumpy about systems not working and things not being where I want them to be when I need them.
Really, my whole blogging system is broken right now. And I hate it. I never thought of myself as the whiny artistic type that complains about things breaking “my flow.” But they are. It is just not working, and I can’t seem to come up with a better option. Stuck!
And so I’m not writing. Which is sad, because I want to write. Or rather, I want to want to write. You know? Sigh.
So. I think I need to go write some blog posts that are not trite, whiny, and boring. I’m sorry for the delay, and I’m trying to figure out how this can possibly work without me hating every step of the process.
I have lots of things to show you, and lots of things I thought I had already showed you. They’re coming. Just as soon as I shake off the grouchy, crankypants mood and figure out what to do about the fact that I really can’t work this way.
Don't be grumpy! it was so nice to meet you, to sit across you :-)Take your time, don't stress yourself (but I will keep an eye on your blog now hoping to see this awesome doubleknitted alpaca thingie, so keep on knitting!)
Well – you ain't alone gal. 😉 My blogging is suffering not only because my knitting mojo is choked, but also because I'm pretty much always in a bad mood these days. It's a very circuluar and domino type of thing. Most times, I just feel like bashing life on my blog since it's choking the crap out my creative motivation; but I figure that's a sure fire way to disinterest people. So the system that's been somewhat working for me is to just knit when & what I can and post when I can. My mind tells me that I should post once a week; my knitting doesn't support that all the time. I also use the "Scheduled Posting" feature a *lot*, so it helps to keep up appearance that I'm actually posting once a week ;-). Beyond knitting what I can and being flexible with posting, there's not much else to break this dry spell because my crankypants mood ain't going anywhere anytime soon by the looks of it. Sorry – I don't have any words of wisdom. But if you find the wisdom, be sure to share it with me, k?
Oh, I recognize that mood! There's nothing worse than having the process messed up; writing is tough enough as it is! We can wait patiently in the meantime, though, so take your time, and I hope the technology stops thwarting you soon.
My sympathies. We'll be here when you are.
