I can't do it.
Well, I CAN do it.
But I don't want to.
Posting everyday for a month? Even I'm not narcissistic enough to believe I have something to write worth reading everyday.
What this little experiment has taught me is that I really do need to write more. I enjoy it.
It has also taught me that the medium isn't as important as the act of writing itself. Scribbling my thoughts and doodling my mental busy town provides a cathartic release like none other. I am always surprised that when I sit to blog with nothing to say it is hard to shut me up. What I don't enjoy about blogging is that I find it tough to write 100% freely. I write knowing that there's a chance it will be read. And because of that, I don't always write what I need to write. When writing, I sort out the cobwebs and icky bits in my brain. I can't fully do that with an audience. Simply because I don't want to.
And so, I am going to try to keep writing for the rest of the month, but not always on this blog. Somewhere private. And I will see how that feels. I will be back. Just not daily.
If you made it to mid-november, thanks for reading and for the encouragement.

I, for one, will miss you. I like your Jennie voice and I loved reading your writing. Thank you for sharing the parts of you that you felt you could! Bye for now!
cool blog, cheers, keep it up!!
I decided to take a stroll through other people's blogs, by using the magical button og "Next blog".. and i came across yours... What you write here is the exact way i feel about writing- I couldn't have said it better myself. :) Continue writing, and blogging, you never have to be certain of the words, just certain that those words will leave you something to remember, incase you ever forget.
I enjoyed reading this, writing from the heart is always best.
Random reader... Sorry if this is more of a private place (though the internet isn't really, I guess...). Anyway. I just read this one post and was kinda sad that you couldn't say exactly what you wanted... But I don't have any friends that live around me following my blog, so I guess I'm safe on that, huh? Either way, as a random passerby, I hope your more private writing is going well. :)
