Being an internal processor presents some challenges for blogging. I love writing, and I find myself thinking through floods of posts and constructing them in my mind. One challenge, though, is that once I don't think while I write; I think and then I write, which makes it feel like an extra step that I often don't take the time and energy to do. Along with that comes my tendency to over-edit. If I can't quite think of the exact way I want to express something, I'll avoid ever writing the post. And, if I do write the post, I tend to read and analyze and edit a bunch, making it an even longer process.
So...you can see why I experience some gaps at times in keeping up with blogging, even though I do enjoy it.
Sometimes I go through stretches of overcoming these challenges better than others. I convince myself to let go of some of the editing, just write, and hit publish before I can over-analyze it. Sometimes, I get a little stuck in my own head.
Well, here is to another effort to get out of my head and enjoy the writing! Jumping back in...
