writing time

i've been asked how much time i put into writing each day and i am surprised when some are surprised when i answer, i don't write every day... i suppose that means the dozens of entries uploaded in one sitting appear as though they were written and uploaded on one day... in some cases that is the case, but in other cases i sometimes go a week without writing... ok, so maybe it's not often, but i do not write every day... i write most days (or nights, if we are to be semantically accurate)... but the question of how much time i spend writing has no clear or obvious answer... sometimes thousands of words pour out in less than an hour... sometimes a single entry might remain in-progress for months or years with words added or edited whenever the muses lead me back to the point or place of the entry... i sometimes spend hours writing non-stop, but most days i spend less than fifteen minutes writing... writing is meditation, therapy, self-expression, creative play, amusement, distraction, and in so many was, how i process, remember, and share life...

the sharing of words, however, has minimized in recent years as decades ago i stopped pen-paling and i've created a blogging world here on the internet in relative obscurity (but for the few who stop in to share signs of life every now and then to whom i send much love)... self-publishing takes more time than i have, so we are left with this blog way of self-publishing which has many thousands of page views recorded, but very few comments or acknowledgement that someone read the words posted here... i miss sharing words...

in any case, i may spend a lot less time writing than some of you may have thought and i wonder how that affects what you read when you read (do you hear what i hear?)... i've always found that drugs help us find perspectives and things that might not come if not under the pressure of a root cause analysis...

to be continued?...

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
