Yes, when I say awhile, I’m talking about two years. Since I was just able to take the time to reread through my entire blog history, I can find no earthly reason not to find the time to post more often. I can account for two ‘blog blockers’ that affected me in 2010: 1) Two important deaths in the family 2) Grappling with what’s reasonable/advisable to share online – as someone who had just returned to work after a year of writing full time, I honestly wondered whether it wasn’t better to just sign off entirely. Time has helped me with both of those ‘blog blockers’ and I’m hoping to return to the habit of somewhat regularly posting. More to come…
