On The Go

In Which Our Heroine Ponders The Advantages Of Blogging From A Portable Device

One of my goals for myself this year is to write here more frequently. Unfortunately, being me, I have a tendency to put pressure on myself to write up the perfect updates or essays at my computer and, due to my Amazing Powers of Procrastination, I wind up being overwhelmed by the sheer amount of Stuff that I want to tell you. Than, I go away and try to plan a series of updates, and the cycle continues.

In the interests of getting around this issue, I have installed an app on my phone that will allow me to update on the road, wherever I go. I’m hoping that this will make things quick and easy and low-pressure for me as I go about my daily activities. This will also give me the advantages of things like Instagram while I continue to try to dodge The Almighty Algorithms.

The photo of the shell above is particularly apropos, I feel. It is a souvenir of a trip. (The photo is, anyway – I left the shell on the beach.) It is imperfect, broken, and beautiful. It’s a good reminder that things don’t have to be perfect in order for me to share them with you.

Thanks for sticking with me on this journey. There is much more to come.
