Blogging Frequency

I think one of the things that killed my interest in blogging is that twitter became the first place to drop a thought. Over time, that slowly morphed my thinking into twitter formats, short, 180 characters (as was) blurts of information that could be linked into a longer post. Which then formalised the idea of blogging being something that I can only do once in a day and required more thinking (a spiral I suspect of preventing me from ever blogging).

Now, I did use to blog through the day, if something occurred to me, I’d post it on the blog first, but again, twitter (and all social media) took that impetus away.

So I’m wondering if I can reverse out of that thinking cul de sac. If, instead of going to Bluesky¹ first, I hit up my blog first and type up whatever nonsense it is I’m thinking off there, will I break the habit?

I don’t know. I do know that checking social media every morning, right now, is just a spiral into dark moods and depression – maybe instead of that, I can open my phone and type up some early morning nonsense and just blog it. I mean, who cares? right? I set the rules for this place myself, that’s the whole point. So let’s see what happens when I start doing that.

1. I’d written twitter original out of habit, but I’ve been off twitter for awhile ↩︎
