BLOG BLOG BO BOG BANANAFANA FO FLOG
I don’t update this site that often. Truth be told, I actually delete about one in four posts I write. I strongly believe that this is good practice. (If you think the recent posts have been horrible, you should see the tedious crap that didn’t make the cut!)
It’s like my blog is saying: Hey, slow down everyone! I don’t expect you to visit every day! Just relax and take some quality time to yourself, you deserve it.
If I ever felt guilty about my minimal productivity, I would just wander over and visit Campzine, and that would make me feel better. It’s about quality not quanitity, I’d remind myself, before returning to my busy schedule of not posting.
The way I figure it, a lower volume of posts at least gives the illusion of them each being of higher quality. Each post is compared not to other posts, but to the sad empty feeling of seeing a blog with no new updates, just like how gambling is more addictive when the payoff is sporadic. Eventually, you begin to hate whatever the most recently posted topic was, and the feeling of relief at not seeing it at the top of the page makes the infrequent blog that much more engaging and rewarding.
But now Bob has gone and promised to update every single business day for a month, with callous disregard for everyone’s valuable free time, the principles of behavioural conditioning, or making other blogs look bad. Nice one, jerk!
Oh well, there’s always good old reliable Heather. She never updates! It’s great!
