I should post more

I know, this is my space, I can do whatever I want here, as much or as little, and so on and so forth. But I do value this space, this connection with other thinking, creating people. And I am not using it as much as I want to.
On the other hand, I'm doing more of window repairs, wall repairs, bathroom repairs, painting and plastering (well, that one's in the wrong order), errands, and stuff like dishes and mopping than I want to be. To say nothing of arranging for things like fixing squirrel damage or cutting down the old dying rowan tree before it falls on my car or somebody's house or garage. Somehow, when I get to the computer I'm tired. It takes a while to get into writing mode and I then try to turn first to fiction, and I rarely get focused for Live Journal after that. (And I won't even mention trips to the dentist.)
I know I will appreciate windows that have been tended prior to winter, and walls that look whole and pleasing, and bathrooms that don't leak, and not having my sparkly purple car crushed, and not having holes in my teeth, etc. Those are all good things, but they're not enough.
Maybe I can change that--at least, the not posting much part. Here's hoping.
In the meantime,
"Hi out there! I'm still here, and glad to see you."

Don't worry. Do what you must. We'll wait for you.

Date: 2014-09-19 04:01 am (UTC)Really, I think the issue is that I know that interacting with people on Live Journal helps inspire my fiction, but I've been more active on facebook, which doesn't. Of course, clicking "like" on facebook doesn't take much brain power!
