jon_chaisson I admit I've been a bit lazy these last few months, even despite saying I was going on a blogging hiatus to give them all a bit of a rethink. In retrospect I think it was less of a rethink than it was making a conscious retreat from the high self-demand approach I'd thrown at myself for years. I've been trying to adjust that for years and now I'm finally, actively doing so. It's never been a healthy habit and I constantly have to remind myself that there are other ways to approach creative processes that aren't Pour Your Every Emotion Into It And Turn It Up To Eleven.
What does that have to do with blogging? Well, I think for me it has to do with being okay with just talking about stuff here without constantly trying to turn it into a 'human interest piece', as my dad used to call them. It doesn't always have to have a beginning, middle and end, or even a point. This blog certainly isn't my professional site like Welcome to Bridgetown or Walk in Silence are, but then again, they don't always need to be Writing Life articles or Music News and Reviews. What am I trying to prove with them, anyway? Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to imitate the writing magazines and the music blogs I read, and that's fine, but it's not always me, if you know what I mean.
Anyway. I'd like to post here more as well. It's always been my personal site, and it's going to remain that way, and that's fine. Talk about my music and writing obsessions, things going on in the hood, day jobbery, and whatnot. Just thinking about making it a bit more frequent is all.
