A cool thing happened today. I got my blog in the mail. There's a company called blog2print that will print your blog and make it into a real live book. Mine arrived today. It's all in there. From day one to day two hundred and thirty. I never actually reviewed my blog while I was writing it. I never went back on day eighty-six and read what I wrote on day twenty-three. Having it all in front of me was a bit of a revelation. I was pretty proud of what I was reading. More to the point, I realized how helpful the writing was to the process.
The writing gave me a place to explore some fairly serious issues for myself. The writing helped me figure out what I was feeling... even on the days when I hated it. And some days I really hated it. Well, it's been a month since the Project finished and I need the writing again. It keeps me focused on the day to day. No big picture stuff... well sometimes... but mostly the daily epiphanies that accumulate into something larger.
Break's over.
you aren't the only one that has been missing it :)
