Photos slow you down

Photos slow you down.

Writing is the easy part.

Searching for a decently-themed photo is time consuming. Both from selecting to the administrative blogging functions required to load and format each image.

Ever write 50 blog posts in one day?

WordPress admin panel
This is from a single Blog website. There are five Blogs/websites. Yes, we are talking 25,000 blog posts, easy.

Ever write 50 blog posts in one day?

Yep.

When was the last time?

Two days ago.

Note: In the past three weeks the daily blog post writing average is roughly 15-30 posts per day.

After 13 years of prolific writing, still suffering (thriving) from writer’s flood.

Blogging is a scared obligation

weird saying
Here’s what if…if this was true, we wouldn’t have so many personal and societal challenges.

Blogging is a scared obligation.

What?

Just like running a prioritized, intentional, over-focused home is a scared obligation, so too is daily blogging.

To a casual observer, this is ludicrous.

To a casual observer, life passes by fast, often (literally always) leading to regret.

Over the 13-year arc from 24,000 published (so far) blog posts, ‘regret sucks’ is a common theme.

First day grade

This 7-second video receives an A.

First-day grade for writing differently?

Solid C.

There were no burdens, there were no epiphanies.

Short and pithy?

Art from a youthful mind
Andrew is 30-something. He knows we hike in Grizzly Bear country. Love his artistic interpretation of a Grizzly. Priceless.

Short and pithy?

On this, the very morning of the mental-morning-writing eureka moment, it seems that short and pithy isn’t being considered today.

On top of that, today’s five posts are being written – you guessed it – before sunrise.

To be continued…
