Long time no post.
Rather than taking the time to carefully craft sentences for this format, I have been Tweeting away, 140 characters at a time. Perhaps you’ve seen me sailing along in the Twitstream where I’ve been posting without pressure, but not without daily thoughts about this site.
Blogger Lisa Barone (Outspoken Media, subscribe to her feed immediately if you care about social media) gave instructions for a blog production schedule quite some time ago. “Yeah, I need to do that,” I thought, and continued to not do that.
Maybe I’ll set up a production schedule, even though that would be awfully reminiscent of “deadlines,” which nagged me during my newspaper career. Kissing writing-on-deadline goodbye is one of the benefits of not having a corporate job.
Today a man named Jackson Thomas, @TexasJackFlash on Twitter, started following me. (If you aren’t familiar with Twitter, don’t worry. I’m not being stalked.) When I checked out his profile, I found this gem: “I’m in a 1 Step program. Every day I take one step toward my dream.”
So today I’m joining the One Step Program, and taking one step back toward posting here. I refuse to go on a guilt trip – what would be the point? This is not my job, and I do appreciate the many kind prods and earnest requests to get back to this format. So here I am, one step at a time.
What One Step will YOU take today?
