I haven’t posted for awhile on my own blog. So, here I go again–making excuses.
I think I’ll just let someone else explain the problem. Honestly, I just get tired just thinking about it.
Read this article by Leslie Leyland Fields on the WordServe Water Cooler—“The Slow-Writing Revolt.” It sort of explains my dilemma.
What’s really funny about this blog post? I tried to reblog Leslie’s post earlier today, and I sent it on one of my old blogs. Oh, brother!
I’m telling you, I really need to stop and re-evaluate this blogging business. I spend so much time trying to correct my mistakes or keep up with the posts that I’ve promised to write for other blogs, it’s no wonder that I can’t “tell the stories that matter most” (my tagline). And I think I’ve had this problem for quite awhile now.
What’s a writer to do? Maybe it is time for a serious look at my writing career. Which stories really do matter most to me?
So, instead of hashing out this issue with myself for the whole world to see on my blog, I think I’ll just let you enjoy Leslie’s post.
Thanks for the reminder, Leslie!
If you’re a writer, do you find yourself in the dilemma of writing everything BUT the stories that matter most? Just curious …
