How do I blog . . . let me count the ways

Blogging about blogging. 

 

I guess this is more common that I would think since there is a 'category' for blogs about blogging. 

 

This is mine.

 

A week-long lag.  I miss daily blogging (oddly a new intention I added about two weeks ago).   I have energy leaks.  Blogging is one.  Stopping, I plugged it for a bit, but need to work out a permanent adaptation.

 

Is it really healthy to put so much of my intimate inner and outer journeys out there for public consumption?   Many of you are dear friends, who will hear it regardless, but some have chosen to not be in that circle, yet, I put it all out there.

 

Another intention is to take myself seriously as a writer. I have had the privilege of being asked to help co-edit an independent literary journal, as well as to contribute a piece.  I need privacy and my intimacy back to feed my creativity. 

 

But I miss the daily blogging, the instantaneous feedback, the chance to connect with those I cannot connect with in other ways.  

 

Caroline Myss, in her CD, Your Power to Create, talks about the mystical narcissist who is in touch her inner guide, has faith in this guide, and no longer needs to proclaim the wisdom of this guide or to validate this wisdom by seeking approval of others.  Do I do this in my writing and blogging?   Since the Perfect Saturday, my guide as been mumbling.  

 

Stop and listen, maybe is what she is mumbling. 

 

I am scared of fiction, so rather than blog about me, I will hopefully be posting excerpts of creative essays and stories I am toying with (is this different than blogging?) and hope anyone who reads them might nudge me from wasted energy into creative potential.
