Unwritten words

Lately I've written some fabulous posts. A combination of funny, poignant, astute observations wittily tied together in coherent, flowing form that I'm just bursting to share with you. You would love them!! If only they existed!! I am very sad to report that my radio silence here is directly proportional with the amount of time I have found to write posts. That is none at all.

In my head I continually construct posts about anything and everything. It's a hangover from the day I started blogging, my mind just thinks in blog posts. Sad I know. And, perhaps even sadder, I really miss being here. I know it's fairly one dimensional but in my head this has been like one long conversation…with myself, with friends, with a few strangers, with anyone who has stumbled upon it. As I write I always imagine I'm talking with someone and I love that.

My dilemma is now finding the time to convert my unwritten mental posts into actual electronic form. Ironically the last few weeks have garnered more blog-fodder-for-thought than the last few years of my life. I am brimming with topics I need to dissect with each of you. Alas, they're all in my head.

So. I am going to commit to posting once a week. I'm telling you this because a while back I learned that bloggers should be consistent and clear. But just to mix that up a little bit, once I'm more settled and into the rhythm of working life, I'm hoping I might find more time to get writing again and occasionally I might even post twice. Living on the edge.

Of course the wonderful twist is that the reason I'm now time-poor is because I'm spending my days writing and being paid for it. Halleluiah. The only downside (which is a lie, because there is no downside) is that my target audience are perhaps slightly less interested in the Duchess of Cambridge than we all are.

Also, in real-world-writing-land there are style guides to follow, software programs to battle and quotes to get right, not to mention writing with sufficient balance, impartiality and accuracy. I have actually resisted writing blogs recently while I retrain myself in the manner of writing now required. Soon enough I'll have both styles down pat but if I start quoting economic indicators, business models or strategic visions for growth, here, just give me the heads up that I've mixed my audience up.
