...just refocusing on my own blogging...

Posted on Jan 21st, 2009 by Marmalade : Gaia Explorer Marmalade

I've been blogging at my other blogs.  I don't know how much I will continue to use this blog.  Time will tell.  I'm trying to focus more on my own writing and so I'm setting an intention with my new blogs.

I've spent a couple of years belonging to various communities.  I realize that for the time being online communities aren't what I'm looking for.  I'll still continue to visit the various communities I belong to, but they'll no longer be a central focus of my time and energy.

I'm not very good at staying focused.  My motivation tends to be fleeting and my curiosity is always pulling me in too many directions.  Being part of a community is too distracting as I get involved with too many discussions.

Also, I spent these last couple of years looking for the ideal community that fit my purposes.  I've come to realize that, just as in real life, I'll probably never find a group that I feel totally at home in.

All that said, feel free to visit me at my new blogs if you want.  I'm always up for discussion.

Hi Ben ~

i will always be happy to stop by - have a cup of java while I read your blogs. Thanks for the links too!  You can always write to me & I’ll respond too!  I liked wordpress.  Are you on www.Twitter.com too so we can follow up?

Yes, I’m on Twitter. But I haven’t really done anything with it. Thanks for reminding me of it.

In case anyone is wondering, the reason I have 3 blogs is because I’m in the process of comparing them. They all have the same blog posts.

Nicole - I’m not in any hurry to decide. I still haven’t figured out all of the potential for each blog. Plus, its not just about the technical capabilities. I’m also curious to see what kinds of commentors each blog will attract. And anyways, I’m an indecisive person.

I haven’t been blogging much this past week or so. I’ve been reading a lot instead. I do have some ideas I’ll blog about soon, maybe this weekend.
