Alright, time for another post about how to do this blog.
Everyone’s favourite part of a blog is when a blogger meta-blogs (blogs about his/her blogging) right?
Wrong.
Too bad.
I have found a new way to blog, which is quite different from when I used to blog. I used to agonize about trying to get something out daily (which somehow worked, for awhile at least) and really fighting through the words a lot of the time. Being a perfectionist, I’m not sure this was immensely healthy. And I think that’s why I took such a long hiatus from blogging over the last few years; it was just too draining.
But I have a new way. I just write until I run out of idea, save the draft and go on with my day. So far, this seems to be working for me – I’ve got 2 other posts that are almost ready to go public. I’m liking it. Plus, Scot McKnight does something similar and the more scholar-like I become, then perhaps the more scholarly I will become.
So this means sporadic updates for all! Hooray! Huzzah!
Let’s get back to work people,

Yeah I do that a lot too. Actually, I’ve started to write important posts as documents first and save them on the desktop, the when I feel they are ready to be unleashed, I publish them. It seems to work fine. Most people don’t have time to check/read your blog every day anyway, I find.
