I was doing pretty well over at Xanga (remember Xanga?), had about 220 subscribers, could routinely get more than 20 comments on entries. Blogged four times a week on a self-imposed schedule featuring something called a Thursday Tipsheet, an exhaustive (and exhausting) roundup of the week’s events. People complained if it wasn’t up first thing in the morning, and being a perfectionist I’d lose sleep working on it. When I realized the blog was running me, not vice versa, I had to call off the Thursday Tipsheet and scale back.

Two things recharged me: 1) Surrendering what seemed like a publishing schedule meant I didn’t pressure myself into producing for the sake of production, and 2) I met new world of people on Twitter (@jesskry included) who turned me toward the new blog on communication (or writing, words and the Web, as I say) that provided a fresh outlet with a seemingly endless supply of material. And whether I update once or twice — or no — times a week, I can now enjoy blogging again.
