@Jaden – I get frustated with the time limitations, too. I also jot down my blog ideas in my little notebook with E’s on the cover. I wish I would have bought two, they were only a buck at Michaels. I like spinal binded notebooks.

Fortunately, or not, I only have to do simple math now. But that kind of mathematical process – calculous – really makes the neurons in your mind stretch. It’s a lot like exercising a worn out muscle. This kind of mind activity keeps you young.

I read this post and apparently forgot to post my comment.

I love the motion and lighting in this image.

Melissa D is responsible for luring me into tom bloggery.

“Albert Einstein had a flash”
Me too, when I was going to sleep, the title for my site came to me out of nowhere. The next morning when I checked it, I couldn’t believe it was available, especially when I found out several months later that my favorite screenwriting consultant had a book/CD of same title. Happy coincidence.

“Your blog will probably move ahead like an elephant clumping through the Sahara”
Yes, development of the site has moved more in this manner.

At 8 months, I am still in the phase of enjoying writing my posts more than anything else I do. When I go to sleep at night, I think of so many post ideas I would like to write, get out of bed, and note them in the ol’ Moleskine.

Limited time is the frustration for me.

@ Karen Swim — I agree: the “shoulds” bum me out.

Calculus was so hard but I loved the way it changed my brain processes in a way to figure things out by taking all the information one knows.

@Cath – Yes, I like this new term, bloggery. Very fitting.

I too am an elephant blogging along. Sometimes I want to be popular, but I guess I would rather have blogging friends. Then I can actually talk to people on a one to one basis.

@Steph – I knew you would like it. I think actually a lot of people might find it helpful. I just never know. Take care!

Hi Ellen – I don’t think I’ve heard the bloggery word before. I think you’ve coined a new phrase.

I think I’m more of the clodding elephant type too. I’ve blogged for quite a long time now and just when I think I’m getting something right – another thing goes wrong. And it’s always the post i don’t like so much that get more popular. the ones I’m really proud of always seem to divebomb.

I wonder what Einstein would have been like as a blogger?
