This bulging list of ideas overwhelms me...
I develop a sort of ADD response when reviewing it; I'm excited to flesh out each one, and want to do so NOW. Since that's not possible, that creates guilt. And anxiety.
So I thought I'd compile a few of the things I'd like to write about. then put these ideas into a jar and pull them out one by one as the blogging moons align. Maybe you'd like to help me speed up the process (and whittle down my list) by telling me which idea(s) you'd like to read more about?
In no particular order, here are my "wanna write more about" ideas. Let me know your favorites in the comments section below. Thank you!

I really understand when you talk about writing some posts, half ones, changing your mind and starting titles. I also think it's important to keep yourself balanced and there are times when being away from posting are good for you and there's no need to place pressure on yourself and allow anxiety to build (easier said than done!).
Meanwhile your writing is always so great and fresh and that's why you have to follow your instincts. xoxoxo - Susan
Hi Susan! You're right, it is a balancing act. And stepping away has provided some much-needed perspective. Thanks for thinking I am fresh!
DeleteYour meeting with Terri for sure! I’d love to hear how your meeting went :) Also, I’m curious about the feminine energy idea, and what souvenirs you kept, BraGGS, YOUR FRIEND ROBIN!, and everything else on your excellent list.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a darn tootin’ good list. ~Catherine
Well I've got the Terri post halfway done, so that will likely be my next post! Thanks for weighing in, Catherine. And I'm also going to ask my friend Robin to write a guest post! ;-)

Must admit, I'm really interested in the art of afternoon napping...
Renn,
ReplyDeleteLOVE, love, love all of them. I know you will do a great job with each of them, as you are such a great writer. I'm curious about the souvenirs of cancer, though. Just keep writing, one post at a time.
By the way, thank you for so faithfully reading and commenting on my posts. I've fallen behind my reading, but I'm trying to catch up. So glad to be reading your posts!
