It's important to be pretty

June 2010 Posts

Writing is hard. Well it is for me because I’m a poor writer. I don’t enjoy writing and what should take me a couple of hours takes me a week as I grit my teeth and beat away at my words to make them make sense. My posts tend to be too long and over explained, I repeat myself. They are a nightmare.

Unfortunately like most ill-informed people I have a lot to say, so motivation to write is actually quite high. I’m not even that worried that only a handful of people read my blog, the process of thinking about what I’m going to write is really useful and enjoyable for me. It helps me to clarify my thoughts and work through issues. It’s just the process of writing itself that does my head in.

I persevere anyway because I’ve found it so valuable, but now that I have a new baby there is an increasing danger of not writing at all because I no longer have the time to bash away at something all week in my spare time. The funny thing is when I started this blog I thought the writing would be easy and I worried about the decision to do a new drawing for each post. But the drawings are the easy part, the literally take about 15 minutes each. Less than that even because since the aforementioned baby arrived I’ve just been rehashing older drawings. They would be better if I had more time to spend on them of course. So I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think how I can say just as much, just as often but spend less time doing it.
