As I sit here and wait for Windows Movie Maker to render a project (just .ppt slides and video clips from Early Success), I'm reflecting on how the last few weeks of no broadband has affected me. I don't even use my home PC that much, but not having access is lame. When do movies start? What is the forecast? What's on TV tonight? All ?s that can be answered most quickly in my favorites folder in MSN Explorer. I even prefer to do most of my BIble study type stuff in front of a computer to check references, etc. at www.biblegateway.com.
But, the thing I miss most is blogging. Yeah I can do it at work, on a "break" or afterhours, but I'd rather be at home. I am so glad I started this thing before Jackson was born. You remember stuff fuzzily, but if you put some words on paper, or even better in hypertext with images, it really brings back memories.
As a wannabe writer, blogging keeps the narrative process in the forefront of your mind, rather than in the sad, "I meant to have finished my first novel by now," creative writing graduate kind of way. (I do love saying, "I have a Masters in English, I can say whatever I want," when people correct my grammar.)
So blogging.. It's therapeutic, creative, and pretty meaningful in my life, as incredibly lame as all that sounds..
