savageseraph | Post a Day Update...

Wow!!! I just noticed on the wee calendar on my LJ, that I've started the fourth week of posting each day. I'm still feeling the satisfaction of watching the little numbers grey out as each new post gets added. I'm also liking waking up in the morning, opening up my email on my iPhone, and seeing comments. It's a nice start to the day and makes me happy at a time when I'm really just wishing I could go back to sleep.

Oddly enough, when I was talking to

caras_galadhon the other night, she mentioned something I'd just noticed, which is that sometimes I'm posting more than once a day. Sometimes it's because I have more to say. Sometimes it's to break up posts by subjects. She asked if it was to get ahead, build up a bit of a cushion for when I do miss a day so that I'll still end the year with at least 365 posts. I don't think it's that. I think I'll still feel bad if I miss a day, even with extra posts on some other days.

I have a confession. I didn't think I'd make it this long without missing a day. I mean before I'd think, "I have no time. I'm too tired. I'll get around to it tomorrow. Maybe post more then." Excuses for my passive behavior of reading my flist but not really participating. We all know that more people read posts than comment on them, but I know I like knowing when someone leaves a comment. I owe that to others as well. Now that I am posting more, I'm finding that I'm also tending to comment more, and keeping up with and talking to y'all makes me happy.

And yes. I am thinking, "If I keep posting, I have a legitimate reason for not going to the grocery store." I suppose I should put on some pants and go ahead and do that.

Well Hello and good morning!just to say I do read your posts, and not always comment, as I can add, help or say very little. However, just to say HEllo and I hope your day will be better than yesterday's and even more better than the day before!

Silly me, but why not. We love hearing from you on LJ and all about your runny sinuses! Poor love. Still - progress!!!

And keep going, only erm a few more erm, weeks to go! Bless and laugh on... Ever, Blue.

Oh dear. Please don't take the post as a "You need to comment more!" I don't manage to hit everyone everyday, and I don't want to be to-do list item for you.

The sinuses are getting a little better, but still in revolt. I need to medicate very, very soon.

Nonono! I don't mean I feel I HAVE to comment each time on you, I just like to let people know from time to time that I AM reading, and am interested in what they have going on in their RLs too.

Other people suffer dreadfully if they don't get commented on, and I must confess, when I did stuff over Christmas, or just before, with my daft drabbles, I did feel slightly - odd, that I hadn't had a single comment on one or two. But then commonsense clicked in and it WAS Christmas time and others had better things to do than read drivel on LJ. So I hate anyone feeling we are all ignoring you! IF we wanted to be ignored, we'd not post anything would we!? Like you, the wish to crawl into holes and hide when offcolour or mis is a human one and I share it with you. Hardly ever moan I does, except when I can make it funny, like when I had the episode with the blocked toilet and Bravo Two Zero came to mind. But we do LIKE to know you are there, and ARE functioning, if only about 95% till the nose stops running off in all directions.

Keep up the posting... I DO read, and wait for it! Just checking - teehee and I shall send a bomb your way if you drop out!!!! LOVES YER.. Blue.

Come on, get moving. Groceries shopping.
Oh, I love to be your motivator. I wished I had someone to do this to me as well.
I always thought it to be an Aries thing that feeling of “I can’t be bovvered!"

Hee. Well, Sagittarius is also a fire sign, so maybe it's a sign that we're fizzling instead of burning when we do that? ^_^

Quite possible.

Ok... you've shamed me into commenting! LOL! Actually, I've been pretty absent in general - partially because I was without real net access for almost 3 weeks and I just got out of the habit of flipping through LJ every day. And I confess that I am now heavily addicted to Twitter... I comment there a _LOT_...

I have been enjoying your posts though and cheering you on - albeit silently - which is not very useful - so I shall endeavor to actually comment more!

Already looking forward to Orlando! Any chance you need any chairs, panelists again this year - though I'm sure you are all set by now...

Yikes! Another person posted an apology of sorts too. Honestly, I didn't mean it to be "OMG, YOU GUYS! COMMENT MORE!" kind of post. *headdesks*

I need to tweet a bit more. It's quick and all, but I feel really overwhelmed by the constant stream of tweets and penned in by the character limit.

Orlando! YAY! Are you going on the haunted cemetary tour? Funny you mention that. Would you like to be on a discussion panel about the monstrous/dark in fic and fandom?

Date: 2012-01-23 03:38 am (UTC)

LOL! I didn't take it as a comment more kind of command - more like, look at you go! Post at all? Don't even look at my journal!! So, it's more from a place of admiration...

I'd LOVE to do the panel! And I totally want to do the haunted cemetary tour - I'm not sure I've seen the details on it... I'm currently being one of those horrid con-goers who is trying to change her time. I'm scheduled to present at 8:30 Thursday, but I have a class til 7pm on Wed nights. I can't really skip it as I'm already missing a class due to a symposium I'm attending in LA - along with doing some research.

I tend to twirl through my twitter stream pretty quickly - and I admit I really do glaze over some of the people I follow, but I like the 140 character limit - it's like a challenge to say something worthwhile in that space! I'm sure that I rarely succeed! ;)
