My Stenographer is a Crack Ho.

But I think she is in rehab now.

Last month I wrote:

I've had ideas pop into my head, and dictated blog entries to myself in my mind, but when I sit down at the computer, I'm unable to put a complete sentence down, let alone an entire blog entry.

I seem to be doing better at both dictating entries to that stenographer in my head, and transcribing her notes into blog entries.

I guess I should thank Flickr for that. Since the first of the year, Alison and I have been participating in a project there called My 2007 Daily Photo Diary, in which we take a photo each day that we feel represents our day, or its highlight. Although a written explanation of the photo is not required, I have felt compelled to provide commentary on the photos I post.

After a couple of days doing this, I realized I was once again writing with some ease. I've even cross posted a few of my entries there to this blog.

Doing this every day for an entire year, at first seemed daunting. A challenge. But I think it is a challenge I am up to. I'm sure going to give it a shot.

I love this idea.

It is easier to post about something specific, I think. I know that I have great blog ideas on my run, and rush home. Then it doesn't come out as well as it did in my head while I was running. Very frustrating.

Happy birthday!

oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! *hug*

i know how you feel about writing/blogging. i think of things to blog when i'm driving or in the shower, then sometimes i can't get it out when i finally sit down. i think i just need to be more disciplined. or carry a tape recorder with me so i can note things when i think of them and am away from the computer.

can't wait to go to flickr and see your shots!
