Another Blog post? Already?

Seriously? Yup, that was me when I ventured over to this blog to add a friends link to my blog roll. I realised I haven't blogged since 14th February with my anti-valentine post. That's a month ago! Wow!

Where did the time go?

I know, I've been very busy with writing, editing and researching my books and also heading up the registration for the Canadian National Steampunk Exhibition and being an organiser and the web designer for the Red Spiral Woman's Retreat, but still, I've not done a post since Valentines Day?

Then, I remembered what I decided when I began this blog in 2009. I would only blog when I had something to say and something I wanted to share. In the blogging world this is known as B.W.O. or 'Blogging Without Obligation'

Blogging Without Obligation:

• Because you shouldn’t have to look at your blog like it is a treadmill.

• Because its okay to just say what you have to say. If that makes for a long post, fine. Short post, fine. Frequent post, fine. Infrequent post, fine.

• Because its okay to not always be enthralled with the sound of your own typing.

• Because sometimes less is more.

• Because only blogging when you feel truly inspired keeps up the integrity of your blog.

• Because they are probably not going to inscribe your stats, link and comment numbers on your tombstone.

• Because for most of us blogging is just a hobby. A way to express yourself and connect with others. You should not have to apologize for lapses in posts. Just take a step back and enjoy life, not everything you do has to be “bloggable”.

• Because if you blog without obligation you will naturally keep your blog around longer, because it won’t be a chore. 

So there you have it, need I say more?

See ya next time. :)
