Ignoring the Blog

I’ve been ignoring my blog.

I wish I could say that something was percolating. But it’s just life intruding. Intruding on the important work of writing.

I have several excuses.

People die and arrangements must be made, schedules altered, free time no longer free.

Work and career improvement dictate the reading of mind-numbing texts, memorization of facts and formulas, familiarity with legal jargon and other abuses of language that rob me of the romance native to my native tongue.

I fear the stilted words I must read will infect what I write, and can’t bear the thought of writing such crap.

And, of course, there is the laziness factor. Too often when presented with the choice of writing or sleep, temporary oblivion wins. My head bobs even as I type these words on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

I envy those with the will to write every day, even weekly. Such stamina is worthy of godly praise.

For life intrudes.

And I ignore my blog.
