I have my goals, and sometimes I achieve them, but the real progress is being made in the places I'm not looking.<BR/><BR/>The simple act of writing (and writing, and writing) seems to be wearing away the rough edges and the false starts. The mistakes I used to make I'm slowly learning to not make.<BR/><BR/>There is some wisdom that comes with age as well, and of course, for someone like myself that writes about the moments in my life, there are simply more moments to write about.<BR/><BR/>And like you as well, I often find that when I read what I wrote way back when, I feel the same way I did then, only more intently and with greater depth. I choose to take that as a sign that I'm following a coherent path towards some far off but real goal, and though I spent a lot of time meandering, I am, in fact, making progress.<BR/><BR/>(Thank you for adding me to your blogroll, btw. My blog is something of a mystery to me, having set it up ages ago. When I again figure out how my blogroll works, I will surely add your blogs to it).mwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14674863172358966045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-26869183816164911502009-02-20T00:26:00.000-08:002009-02-20T00:26:00.000-08:00Very observant of you-I've been re-reading ESR thi...Very observant of you-<BR/>I've been re-reading ESR this month too. I think I seemed more upbeat- guess I'm getting a bit worn down from the job lately- <BR/>I get the feeling when things start picking up for better work again, my blog tone will lighten up again too.<BR/><BR/>As always, I send myself here on Day Off!Snaggle Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197042129309670471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-57471945111762730312009-02-17T05:45:00.000-08:002009-02-17T05:45:00.000-08:00Dang, my comment ended up as a post, so I deleted ...Dang, my comment ended up as a post, so I deleted it and started over. *lol*<BR/><BR/>I go back and read my older posts sometimes. Sometimes I think "Damn, that was pretty good", other times I wonder how drunk and stupid I was when I wrote it.<BR/><BR/>The ones that stand up for me I link in my gutter, the ones that don't remain in the archives.~Easyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368866817728464561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-60985421218265300472009-02-15T12:42:00.000-08:002009-02-15T12:42:00.000-08:00Hi, Netchick sent me :-)I occasionally look back a...Hi, Netchick sent me :-)<BR/><BR/>I occasionally look back at what I've written. I must go back and check through what I posted in Blog Part 1 (had a big break). I've read the "indoor cricket tactics" post a few times and rechecked the "what's your birthday mean" post a couple of time. That'll probably tell what the most common Google searches into my Blog are ...<BR/><BR/>There's a certain rhythm that comes out of the best posts as well. A sense of being carried through the post on a wave, where you follow how the author feels, not being left behind in confusion. I've hit that a few times I think :-) But not as often as I like ("Recurrence" has rhythm)<BR/><BR/>The typos get me too - both the spelling errors plus an unfortunate habit I seem to have of word substitution. I meant to write one word but it comes out as another :-)<BR/><BR/>Interesting :-)Sleepypetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143274290029186546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19984125.post-19538297079869627862009-02-15T00:07:00.000-08:002009-02-15T00:07:00.000-08:00I also read some of my older posts in the archives...I also read some of my older posts in the archives and I noticed the changes in the way I write like it is growing. Plus, they also served as sort of inspirations for new topics. Anyway, Happy Valentines to you and yes Tanya sent me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
