Continuing...

I think I may change my daily on Habitica from a "do this every day" to a "consider doing this as part of evening routine." Clearly, fifty Dreamwidth posts has not helped me get any better at thinking of something to post about. I don't want to write about my doctor's appointment yesterday, or the errands my husband and I ran today, or the bagels I made. I don't want to talk about the minutiae of writing/publishing/editing. My life is boring, and I like it this way...

Comments

Hi, I am just wandering through my network and have a suggestion that has worked for me. What if you considered "leaving a comment on someone else's post OR making a post" to be your daily journaling? Depending on your goal for why you want to post every day, leaving comments might do it.

[clare_dragonfly]

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't think it would really work for me--I don't have any trouble commenting on other people's posts. I feel like my friends post about their lives, but I don't post about mine, so the relationship gets one-sided because they don't know about me. Maybe I should ask them if they feel like the relationship is one-sided...

I used to post every day about nothing, if necessary. Yet as I've become more content with things, I find less and less to say...

[sweet_sparrow]

Yes, very much this. Not that I'm very content at the moment, but the point stands. If I'm more content, I'm more likely not to post.

<3 Do what works for you. If nothing else, you've tried to post daily about everyday things and decided it's not for you at all.

Cute icon!

And yes, I agree.

[clare_dragonfly]

Yeah, good point. Thank you! <3

I have "50 blog posts" as part of my goal book, as well as "50 photos posted to blog". Neither of which I'm doing well at, but I try. Maybe a weekly goal is more up your alley, or pick something you do want to talk about to post (pictures, tea, crafts, baking... I'd be interested in the bagels you made!), or just be okay with you'll post when you post, when the mood strikes you.

...unhelpful comment is unhelpful.

I've changed the daily to more of a reminder to consider it... maybe I'll think of recipes and/or pictures next time I bake!
