Oh, no, not more ideas :)

Seriously, I think Project 365 sounds really cool, and I love some of the creative ideas I’m seeing in this post. And I think it’s cool that WordPress offer all sorts of things to help bloggers who are stuck for ideas – there’s this, there’s “post a day“, there are ideas that come up on the screen when you’ve finished a post. I’m sure there are people who find this stuff really helpful.

But in my case, I have the opposite problem – when to find the time to write all the posts I’ve thought of writing. I keep scribbling down ideas and not getting round to it… or I start a post and leave it half-finished, in draft… I wake up with ideas, my problem is sifting them and deciding which ones to go with.

It’s not that I lack ideas, it’s more a case of 365 days in the year and 24 hours in the day not feeling like anywhere near enough…

changing things round again

Got totally fed up with my previous theme, needed a change. Yes, I think it was pretty – that’s exactly the problem. It was too pretty for me to cope with it long-term. Needed something cleaner. So today we say goodbye to the beautiful Dusk to Dawn theme and hello to the much cleaner, more minimalist look of Reddle.

this does mean a bit of housekeeping for me as Reddle shows the posts differently and I’m not ecstatic about that, I’m going to go backstage for a bit and see if I can get round it… I have an idea…

I can haz subscriberz :)

Yes, I call you guys subscribers – those of you who have signed up for my posts – and not followers, despite the official WordPress terminology… I’m not founding a cult, I’m just blogging. :)

It’s great to see the new subscriber notifications, but of course now I find myself thinking: oh no, it’s the second day that I haven’t posted anything, I’m letting them down…

It’s not for lack of ideas – the great frustration is having ideas but not having the time to work on them. Life with all its mundane detail gets in the way, and the creative part of me wants to throw a tantrum but my Inner Grown-up reminds me that those things are actually necessary and that my creative mind wouldn’t function very well without food and drink, and food and drink are not – contrary to the scenarios imagined in those sci-fi stories I used to read in my teens – going to materialise without any effort on my part.

Watch this space.
