Just a Small Hiatus

My last post was in 2014. Yikes!

Reading back over some of the posts, I am pleased with the things I have been thinking and intending. I am not happy about my general lack of follow-through, however. But there it is; that is my kryptonite. Self-motivation.

I began listening to an audio book version of Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and he mentions that an important step along the way is minding your own business, as in tending to the business that is you and yours. I have always believed that writing is part of what I am to be about, and this blog is one outlet for it, a potentially very public part. (Journaling is another way, but that really goes nowhere. I won't draw the obvious parallel to other things you do by yourself.) So since I have so much time to sit and think (since I am currently still driving a truck), and nobody is monopolizing my writing time and effort, I guess I can choose what to write, when to write, and who to invite to read it. Of course, ANYBODY could just stumble by and read it; that's fine. But whether anybody comes back for more really depends on me. The quality of my writing is important. (OH MY GOODNESS, the lack of quality out there is stunning, and yet people STILL MAKE MONEY!!!) But the frequency and consistency is important, too. You shouldn't have to guess whether I will post more. I should post more, and try to be regular. Therefore, I will try this: I will try to post something at least every week. Sometimes the schedule can get a little wild, and I can't really promise daily posts. Plus, at this point, to overpromise breaks trust. So once a week. More when I can.

And starting with the next post, I will try to make it something other than me looking at me not writing!
