I’m so glad I did the challenge. So, so glad. Granted, I didn’t do it exactly as prescribed. But going into it, I knew I wouldn’t be able to.
There’s a difference between writing in a journal and shaping your thoughts so others can understand them. Obviously, you don’t have to share everything. But working through the prompts brought clarity to my thinking. Far more than I expected.
I want to keep blogging in this manner. It’s fun. I’m enjoying it.
However, a blog post a day—or even a prompt a day—is not sustainable. I’ve had to set aside other writing, and other things, to do this challenge. And it’s not so much the writing part; it is the shaping, the proofing, and the posting that takes time.
Also, a post a day leaves me little time to comment on other blogs. Part of the reason I did the challenge was to get back into both blogging and connecting with other bloggers. I want to make a concerted effort to reach out and comment more often.
The other reason for my lack of time is that work is a bear.
Just for fun, I submitted work is a bear as a prompt for DALL·E.
This accurately illustrates how I feel at the end of the day. Really, our AI overlords know far, far too much.
I’m trying to adjust and create a schedule that includes blogging, writing, and other things. It may take a few tries. In fact, I know it will. Still, I plan to be here on the blog more often, and I’m looking forward to visiting other blogs regularly.
Writing Wrongs 
Well, it’s been fun to have you around this last month — and kind of inspiring, too — but I get you on the challenges of managing work plus posting plus anything else at all that you might want to do.
FWIW, your “work is a bear” illustration is perfect. Looks like you & DALL-E have a pretty good working relationship. Here’s hoping your own job settles down and leaves you a little less beleagured. As always, happy to see you around whenever you can make it…
