Blog problem

The end of the semester is coming to a close, so here are the problems I've run into trying to update daily (something that shouldn't be that hard to do).

1. I get distracted easily. It's a bit harder to study with a thousand things going on around you, and believe me, being in college, there are plenty of things to do. Having interesting roommates definitely helps.

2. Sometimes, I just don't run into interesting people. I may have simply gone from class, back home, back to class the next day. Granted, those people might be new to readers, but not to me. I want this blog to be sort of a narrative exploration of people that I run into.

3. It's not as fun as it could be. I often want to do something super-creative, and not stick to frameworks. A blog with a specific purpose, well, it defeats the purpose.

4. Not being in the mood for writing is a buzzkill too. There are days when I'm blocked.


Next step: Finding a way to rid myself of all these situations that cause me to fail at blogging.

Laura

Who knows where she's from, what she does. All I know is she can write--write fast, write well, write with what some would call passion, others might call skill.

She's impressive. Subtle, small, soft-spoken until she knows you. Not one of those whose eyes suggest what to expect.

Subtlety is in the eye of the beholder.
