De-pressured

I am so happy that I have a blog.
I love blogging. I love writing here, and I love reading other people's blogs.

I can't stand it though, when I visit a blog that hasn't been updated in a long time. In fact, if I visit one that is way outdated, there's no way I'm going to bookmark it, and so I'll probably forget about it, and perhaps never see it again.

So I try to be pretty regular about my posting. I want people to visit often, and I want them to not get too bored with me.

For a while there, I was finding no joy in writing on my blog. And so I really didn't. But I'm so happy that didn't go on for too long.

I think I know what happened. I was taking a writing class- which I loved by the way- and I was trying so hard to be a better writer that my "inner critic" kept saying mean stuff to me and I felt very discouraged.

Now I have a little distance from the class and writing here is fun again.
This blog's intention was just to express myself, and connect with anyone who reads it. There's really not pressure in that!
