Lack of updates
Oct. 29th, 2008 11:48 pmI've not worked out the figures for a while, but a few years ago I was writing (IIRC) 3.8 posts per week. Now it's more like that per month.
I've been trying to think recently why this is the case. I've come up with a number of reasons.
Firstly, I have so many people on my flist that reading takes up a lot of time.
I've dropped most communities from my default view. I still try to read every post in a personal journal, and I reckon I end up skipping maybe 2%. I'm sure I miss a few too, due to them being posted before entries that I've already read. It means that I'm often too tired to update after having caught up in the evenings.
Another reason is that I like to post about things in the order that they happen. I don't quite know how this preference came to be, but it's certainly an odd one. And then by the time I find myself in a position to write something, I've forgotten the more interesting stuff and it would just end up being boring mundane shit.
ANd that leads me onto the other reason. Though I'm enjoying my life right now, very little of it is really note worthy - so I tend to not post out of apathy.
Hmm. This post has ended up being more meta than I had intended it to be.
