IT’S A PARADOXICAL BUSINESS
I have spent today trying to catch up with my blogs. I won’t succeed completely, of course, but my hope is to get my recent blogs up to date by the close of the weekend. As of this last week, I am currently missing Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Why do I allow myself to get into arrears at all? I think it has to do with the fact that there is a limit to one’s creative energy—and sometimes I feel there are other priorities. I tend to swear under my breath when that happens because I know perfectly well that it is much easier to write a blog on the day than to backtrack.
Alternatively, one could argue that I lack adequate writing discipline—and I would plead guilty, though I am a very disciplined writer. But am I disciplined enough? Clearly not.
Writing—despite my passion for it, and the fact that I can focus on demand—remains a struggle with my own character and with the distractions of everyday life.
If that sounds somewhat depressing, you would be entirely wrong. It is also an immensely rewarding experience.
