blogitis?
by sam on 05/27/2004I certainly hope that I’m not on my way to becoming one of these people (thanks to Gothamist for the link).
Unless they’re professional writers, most bloggers I read (and myself) really seem to squeeze their journaling in between the other aspects of their life. I know that if something is going to get neglected, it’s going to be my website, not my job, family or friends (which is also why, when I do get some truly free time, you end up seeing a flurry of changes all over the place – I keep a running list of all the things that I want to do when I get the time). I don’t think I’ve ever told someone, "oh no, I’m sorry, I can’t go out to dinner because I have to write a blog entry".
I mean, I went on vacation by myself with my computer, and I think I wrote, like 4 entries. And at least one of them was when I was stuck in the airport for three hours.
Of course, the fact that I have no ability to update any aspect of my website from my office also probably helps me keep from going over the edge. There’s nothing like incompatibility of computer systems and software, plus an over-zealous IT department that doesn’t even let us have access to the Control Panel in Windows to keep you at least somewhat focused on the stuff your supposed to be doing!
