Blogging on the Run

Today has not been a great day for sitting down and being able to write.

I've been up and running since early this morning and was finally able to stop for just a second to eat lunch and oddly, I thought a blog and twitter update may be another good use of my time. I'll be emailing everything in, the Twitter update, the blog and I'll be interested to see how that turns out later. My first attempt at such technological innovation could spell disaster!

I've seen a lot of "advice" type posts and entries and such that stress the importance of updating everything every single day. You must maintain your momentum on tweets and posts or you will backslide and everything will be for naught!

I don't know if I really think that's normal. People have lives. I don't even get to write actual work every single day, as life intrudes. So the idea of maintaining this perfect record on everything seems a bit silly. Tumblr has a lovely system where I can set up 50 things and it will post one a day so it looks like I'm there even on days I'm not. Even Blogger has such a "schedule" option, though I didn't think to use it in advance of days like today. Twitter, well, that doesn't seem to be possible without some sort of third party software.

The whole point of all this "constantly updating" stuff is to make your audience feel connected to you, but I don't really have an audience, so why am I stressing over this? As I sit here nodding my head at my own valid point, I'll just kind of agree that if I'm too busy to post, it's really not like anyone is itching to read this stuff anyway. So it all works out in the end!
