I’m very tired. Non-stop allergy attacks are keeping me up at night, so I self-medicate with extra strength Benadryl to make my skin stop crawling. Sleep is an added bonus until it’s time to get up in the morning – I still haven’t cleared my brain of the drug fog, and I’m afraid that by the time I feel awake enough to function it’ll be time for sleep again. I’m really just feeling run-down all over, which makes me worry I’m going to catch the death flu that’s going around The Lab. I’m already achy and sore of sinus – but is that just my allergies, or am I catching the avian bird sars? I don’t have time for this; I have a potato/sex farm to visit.
So, I’m tired. When I get tired, I get thinkie and down on myself. Today’s topic of introspective self-doubt: do I write too much?
It seems like I check my RSS feeds every five minutes to see if anyone has made a new post, and rarely am I fulfilled with new texty goodness. None of the other blogs I read update nearly as often as I do – I strive for at least one post a day, five days a week (and admittedly often go over my “goal”). Everyone else seems to post once a week; twice if it’s a particularly eventful week, and call it good. Am I a blog posting over achiever? Does the quality of my posts suffer because I update so often? Do I just write too damn much?
Thing is, I don’t know if I’d be happy if I updated any less.
Dear Army of Seven: would you be sad if I only wrote once or twice a week, or would you be glad that there were fewer words to wade through?
