Bootstrap’d Update01:40:43

So, it has been over a week since my last update on what is/was supposed to be a daily log of my goings-on. Clearly my strategy needs to be re-thought.
There are a couple of factors that play into this situation:
- I have been busy doing stuff.
- Writing takes a lot of time and energy out of me.
The good news is, I have been busy working; both on freelance projects and on my own projects. I usually end my work days late at night (or very early in the morning), at which point I can no longer think clearly and the thought of writing a summary of the day is furthest from my mind. The bad news is, I don’t write many posts because of this.
Quite honestly, in the last week I have been focusing my time on development of products and not so much on the business-administration side of things. It would be pretty boring to write (and for you to read) about “I wrote a bunch of code today. The End.” Nothing really significant happened, and so I decided not to report on “making license plates” (a Cryptonomicon reference meaning the basic activities needed to keep a business going).
The process of writing takes a great deal of time and energy from me. I know I will never win a Pulitzer for my writing, but I do take great pride in what I do write. I like to proof-read every post at least twice, checking for spelling and grammar errors. Nothing bothers me more than reading articles (read: blog posts) online that contain easy mistakes, so I try not to do the same. I can sit and write code for hours and hours and days and days, but when it comes to prose I am good for about an hour before I feel drained.
So, instead this blog may become more of a weekly summary with major business-related posts in between… or it could be lots of smaller posts that come more frequently. I am still trying to decide, but I am deciding right now that I am not going to fool myself (or you!) into thinking that this will continue to be updated daily (at least in the near future). I’d rather concentrate on doing what I love (coding and product development) than continue to feel guilty about not writing the previous night’s post.
Ok, I feel better for having written that. Thanks for reading along. I’m definitely not going away, just trying to improve the overall quality of the content here.
