i've been somewhat frustrated lately with blogging - or rather frustrated by not blogging. i have 2-3 entries (maybe more actually) written down on paper, but when i get to the laptop either i go blank & my anxiety peaks, or i avoid it & get drawn in by crackbook & twitter. When i do type a post directly into blogger, i end up re-reading & editing the post for an hour or more after. it's a real struggle to resist the correcting compulsion.

so i've determined that the best way for me to continue with this whole process is to keep writing in long-hand, then type it up later. Sure, it doesn't mean you'll see my updates in "real time," but is anyone demanding that besides me? i think not. i was reading the Daily Coyote the other day, & found it's author Shreve Stockton saying the exact same thing. Since the whole point of this blog is to document my recovery & to share my struggles & triumphs with others - not to be an exposure exercise in and of itself, that's how i intend to proceed. please bear with me, k?

i'm also reworking the tags/labels to do away with the lolspeak. sure it's fun, but it's somewhat geek elitist, and not terribly helpful in search engines. hurrah for progress!
