SO I just got done with this post over at Betty’s. I have to say that it seemed so much easier than posting here. Weird, right? I think that’s why I’ve latched on to the podcasting thing. It’s somehow easier… which is crazy cause it takes like waaay longer to edit and produce (cause that’s really what it is to edit and format and upload and post) a podcast. But I guess the thing about it is that I can still talk comfortably, but being face with a black screen I have to type WORDS onto has been a bit daunting. It made me think about earlier today when Richard was pointing out something he had read on a VOX blog about trying too hard. I think I do, and it’s sad because the overall content here suffers. I am censoring myself before I even sit down to blog. I go through this analysis of whether it’s something I would usually write about, or if my readers would want to even read it, and I eventually talk myself out of the entire post which is sad. You all never got to vote.

So then you have to add in the fact that I have committed to myself to post at least once a day. Once a day when I do not allow myself to just relax and sit down and type out whatever comes to mind? When I put all these restraints on what I can post? It’s a little insane… OCD anyone? I just know that once I put my podcast to an outline, something like a formula, I will do the same thing there. Just like my mom… I can strip the fun out of anything. Heh. I do it all the time. I have my daily routine so organized and streamlined in everything I do that there is little fun. I have to be outside of my bubble. That’s where I have fun. That’s why the guest post is such a thrill. I am out of my box!

What is my point here? Hmm. I don’t know. I am in the mood to analyze? No. I think I am expressing a true concern. Is it valid? I think so. Now that I’ve admitted it I need to work on it. That means more typing…. more stories about my day. More members only stuff, cause typically I drop anything to do with work first, cause I am not so fond of members only stuff…
