Blogging Status

I have not given up on blogging (I know all three of you were very worried and I appreciate that). An average post (I may be exposing myself as pathetic here, but it's not like you didn't know that already) takes me about an hour. When I'm writing I can't have the tv or music on, I can't chat with random people IMing me; I actually concentrate. I figure if I'm going to hope/expect people to read whatever I'm randomly thinking about, the least I could do is put the time and effort into organizing my thoughts so they're easily understood.

So when a post (that I was very excited about, btw) refused to appear, I was beyond bummed out. My core state of rest is that of a formerly depressed person. I take active steps each day to keep myself away from depression. Most of those steps are the same each day. Sometimes I need to add extra steps to fight extra hard against depression. I have always said my most valued posession is my mind. If I need to take a break from blogging to keep myself sane, or even just to not let the scales tip towards the downward spiral depression is, then yes, I'm taking that break.

I'm over it now, and aim to get a few posts done in the near future. They will not be done tonight, as I am currently babysitting for a sleeping child, and using a computer very foreign to me, a Windows Girl. But one will be The Lost Post, which I will painstakingly recreate from scratch for your reading pleasure. Now that I'm sitting here, the Writing Portion of my brain has switched itself on, and ideas are spewing forth in record speed. So, I'm off. To go find a crayon and write everything down before I forget.
