Surprised by my own post

Posted on March 3, 2008 in Blogs, Blogging, & Bloggers by DM

Here’s something interesting that happened to me last week. Several weeks ago, I wrote a sort-of emotional post about taking more time to nurture my “writer within.” I almost published it immediately, but then decided for some reason to wait on it. I had gotten a little emotional writing it, and I wondered if it might be the type of thing I’d later be sorry I’d written. So I assigned it a far-in-the-future publish date, confident that I would re-read it before it went live on the blog and would decide for sure whether to use it at all. Then, to be honest, I completely forgot about it.

So on Friday, for only the second time that week, I logged into Bloglines to read my RSS feeds and discovered that I had a new post on one of my own blogs. Funny, I thought, because I’ve only had time to blog once this week. I clicked through, and there was my post about ‘the writer I want to be.’ Oh CRAP, I thought - what did I say here? Anything I wish I hadn’t?

Turns out, there is nothing I would change. If anything, the sentiment is even more relevant to me today because life continues to get in the way of writing. Even blogging!
