The contest is for sure and for certain. Facebook has won that challenge. If only I'd known they were in a race for my time and creative energies. I've succumed to sometimes creative one liners in my status bar rather than writing about the times of my life here. Hmm. What to do....every new direction begins with the first step.
A couple years ago an old college friend suggested I write more. He was then blogging for Townhall.com. Now he's hunting down acting gigs; I'm not sure if he is still writing. I told him then that I was into a lot of things and I wasn't sure which direction I was supposed to go in. I didn't know where my energies were supposed to be funneled. I chose to stick with the things I'd already obligated myself to, and the writing went away. Except for snippets on Facebook.
Today I find myself without all of those other responsibilities. I actually have time that I can choose how to fill. I've filled it lately with sprucing up our upstairs bathroom. That has led to the hall which is my current project. I've documented it all...on Facebook. Photos and everything. It is easy and far reaching. Face it, hardly anyone knows about my blog. Me even; I forget that it's here, and has been since about May of 2006.
So, will there be a continuing battle, or can this blog and Facebook peacefully and productively coexhist. Time will tell.
