About six months ago, in a flurry of post New Year’s activity, I launched this blog and entered the highly addictive world of self-publishing. With 24 hours of laid-off time at my disposal and a naturally curious disposition, I had the time and energy in abundance to research every little thing that captured my attention. I remember saying to a two-year blogging veteran friend of mine that I just had too many ideas to limit myself to daily posts, and would it be overkill to put up MORE than one post per day? She laughed politely and told me that maybe I should pace myself. Like the naive new marathoner that I was, I kept sprinting out that eight minute mile assuring everyone that I was doing great. Well, about three months in, something calamitous happened - well, calamitous to my blogging schedule that is - I got a job. Or to keep the running metaphor going, I hit the wall and found myself keeled over the guardrail next to the road.
As my profession is social media marketing, I spend almost the entirety of each day on the web. When I get home, the last thing I typically want to do is turn on the computer, so my blog posts, as you can see, came to a screeching halt at the exact momemt I started back up the 9 to 5 (or 10 to 8, as the case may be). The curiosity and the desire to talk about things I care about have not left, however, so I’m reengaging and hopefully trotting out at a more sustainable pace this time around! I’ve got a whole panoply of topics stored up in an Evernote note, but you’ll just have to wait and read them patiently as I feed them out 1-2 a week!

welcome back! slow and steady wins the race….
and on an unrelated topic, how do you like Evernote, I’m curious but tire of trying new and disparate systems just to abandon them…
