Writing is About Timing

I often find myself at the end of the evening wanting to blog (or write, or do at least something in the vaguely creative vein), but having nowhere near enough energy and brainpower to actually write anything more than a short bit in order to fulfill the habit (and turn the little number on the calendar purple). Which leads me to reflect (albeit briefly) that writing seems to often be a matter of timing for me--which is to say, its quality (let alone quantity) seems to be dependent on the particular time (of day, as well as sheer amount) I allot to it. I know this isn't a big surprise, but I figure if I actually put this thought down, it might help me to actually prioritize making not only *some* time for blogging/writing, but the *right* time (e.g. time when I'm less tired and feeling the pressure to go to bed).

In any case, right now is not the right time. I will try to find a different time tomorrow. In the meantime, I leave you with a link to a new blog I found and have been loving: Outer Life. It's a personal blog, but so well done. (We hates it, precious, it's just the blog we always wanted to be and we wants it.) I have no idea who this guy is but I love his writing style and his sensibility. I've been enjoying it so much I've been obsessively working my way through the archives. That should tell you something. Anyway, enjoy.
