Yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rant on my bloggy obsessions started to run a little long, so I shut myself down. (See, there are editorial processes at work here, just very very loosely applied ones driven mostly by whimsy and caprice.)<\/p>\n
But the question still remains\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 if you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t blog at work, and you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t blog at home, then where the heck do you blog? The answer is, everywhere. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m constantly blogging in my head. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shameful to think about how many brain cells are dedicated to blog thoughts on a given day. I think about blogs (yours, mine, the ones on my blogroll, all the ones that I might add to my blogroll if only there were about six more hours in the day to explore the blogosphere) pretty damn near all the time. I do the mental blog while I am waiting for the microwave to beep, while I am making photocopies, while I am showering, while I am walking the dog. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tell the boss, but I have been known to think about blogging during staff meetings. But only during the boring parts.<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been thinking about what Ann over at Mother of All Blogs<\/a> wrote recently about being WriterMom<\/a>, and while I am not presumptuous enough to categorize myself with her as a writer, I know for a fact I have drifted in conversation to the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m here but not really here\u00e2\u20ac\u009d thousand yard stare as I contemplate my inner-blogger. Actually, what Ann wrote is just a really great excuse for absentmindedness IMHO, for I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d rather be accused of contemplating exciting writing projects than just contemplating my navel, which is equally likely to be true.<\/p>\n Sometimes I even lie awake at night, thinking about things I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve read, or things I could write. I am such a droll and witty blogger at 3 am, you wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe it. I tried leaving a pencil and paper beside my bed, but when I read it the next morning the only word I could decipher was \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcpickle\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and despite my best effort I just couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make a clever blog from that paucity of material.<\/p>\n True confessions time: where do you do your best blog-thinking? How many hours a day do you dedicate to blog thoughts?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rant on my bloggy obsessions started to run a little long, so I shut myself down.
