building upon what i wrote 'yesterday' on this blog, i would like to address the issue of substance. i am getting to the point now where i am seriously reconsidering the 'daily' aspect of this blog, in order to up substance level of it: posting only when i really have something to say about something as it relates to my life or whatever i'm thinking about at the time. basically, we're talking about quality over quantity. however, i have a feeling that [like with all of my previous, non-daily blogging endeavors] i would likely post very rarely.
i like the idea that i'm cluing people in on what's going on in my daily life, because i'd like to think that some people appreciate that sort of thing. since i know i do have at least 15 or so daily readers of my blog, i take that as some sort of evidence that people find it useful. i don't want to lose that connection with my readers, but at the same time, i feel awkward posting half-assed material that basically just says, 'herp derp i ate chili today *fart noise*' or something equally banal. i'm not saying that every post is like that, but with a daily blog with no real structure, it almost necessarily devolves into that at some point, at least temporarily.
so it's a question of balance, really, at this point in time. i think that i will probably push on and continue to blog daily [which aids my neuroticism, just like posting this post and the previous one as though i had written them 5-6 days ago] and just be conscious of what i'm writing. if something is not substantive one or two days in a row, i will try harder to post something really meaningful the next day, and try to keep on top of the 'posting every day' thing. ever since the first anniversary of truly blogging daily, i've felt less motivated to continue to do it on time. now i want to correct that, and continue to do as i'd done the first year.
here's to the future. and with that, we resume our recap.
