As I asked yesterday on The Other Place, if you miss seven days of your daily blogging project, does that mean it’s over? It was a rhetorical question as I’d pretty much decided. Without going into tedious details (I only do that when I haven’t already decided) the 365 project was designed to get me writing again in a loose and enjoyable way. And it worked. My writing here and elsewhere improved and I got less precious about what I put out there. But occasionally I’d slip up and miss a couple of days and for some reason I had a rule that they had to be written sequentially, which makes sense but wasn’t particularly practical. And in the end the project that was supposed to help me write was just filling up my todo list and holding me back.
So there’ll be a change. If I have something specific to blog about, something that lends itself to a descriptive title, I shall blog about it in the traditional way. If I just feel the need to splurge about the day, in a 40/365 style, I shall do so and use the date as my title. And having imported all the old ASH-10 blog posts in here I hope to get back to writing in earnest about that stuff, whatever it is these days.
Some days I shall write a lot, sometimes I shall write very little or not at all. And that is how it should be.
And with that, we begin again.
