The one enduring mystery of 2012 has been... Why is it so hard to keep this blog up to date?
I never had this problem with my last blog, the diary of our time in exile. I posted on that religiously, sometimes more than once a day. What was it about that blog that made it so easy to write?
Oh right.... white-hot, blinding rage.
Turns out seething anger and contempt are great motivators for writing. Which makes a certain amount of sense - nasty reviews are always the most entertaining.
The previous blog was powered by the boiling anger about the collapse of our life as we had known it (and where fate had landed us). It made the writing more therapeutic and cathartic. And plentiful.
So... something to work on. It isn't that there aren't just as many frustrating and bizarre subjects to write about here, I'm just going to have to find some other motivator other than howling at the moon.
So that's my New Year's resolution... more writing. Along with the perennials - losing weight and quitting smoking. The writing will be the easier of the three, one would think.
Happy New Year
