I asked Kade over at A Wooly Discipline a question over at her blog, and she was kind enough to write a pretty good post about it. The post made me think more about what would I write as an answer to the question myself?
So here goes

How do you feel about daily blogging and why are you (not) going to
continue with it?

I started writing things online years ago. At that time people would call their “thing” an online diary if that was what it was, just ramblings and daily life stuff.
And a blog was something different, you didn’t write too personal on there, but mostly stayed on topic with whatever your blog was about.

I had an Online Diary, first at Xanga for 6 months or so. But the service had a lot of problems and I left.
I joined a Norwegian online diary community (EnjoyDiary), and stayed for three years. Yep, three years, often multiple postings each day. I have a year where there no dates without posts.

I left EnjoyDiary for a number of reasons, I didn’t care for some of the rules, some people I needed to get away from was on there and I just wanted my own thing.
Two years ago I bought this domain and put up the wordpress blog on it. It was very liberating at first, like moving out from a shared living situation and into your own flat.

That’s a long way of telling you that I’ve been doing this for a long time, and now I don’t really see much of a point anymore in posting obsessively. I’ve been there, done that (didn’t get the fucking t-shirt).

I’m trying to post daily now, and I notice that I’ve changed. What’s important too me now isn’t the same things as before. I’m not 16 anymore, the self absorbed girl that obsessed over her weight and couldn’t sleep isn’t me. I don’t have a depression to write about and moan of. Just everyday living. And I see no point in writing about that.
I’m not a good blogger, life gets in the way, and in the end, it all boils down to time.

After this month I’m not going to keep on posting daily. I’m just not that interesting.

I found it very ironic yesterday, when I tried putting up a post about participating in NaBloPoMo and my internet connection went bonkers, refusing me to get online at all.

Why is this ironic?

Because the project I mentioned is about posting a post every day of the month… and on the day I tried to talk about it, I couldn’t post. I’ll try to not get all melodramatic and say that the universe was going against me, but it’s funny anyway.

I think the project is a funny little thing, even though the site it’s running on is so slow that I have serious problems browsing it.
If this is the case for you to, you can still go trough this link and just read random blogs that participate in the crazyness.

(yes, I’m changing the timestamp on this post, because it wasn’t my fault I didn’t post. It’s only sort of cheating, isn’t it?)
