*phew* I just found great comfort in your post. I likewise vowed to post 3-4 times per week and am especially concerned in losing the momentum since I only just created my personal blog last month. I’ll continue aiming for that goal, but I’m at least reassured (for the time being) by the fact that I started the blog to help me overcome writer’s block on current writing projects, so, if I’m not posting on any given night, it’s usually because I’m working on those very projects…so I guess that means the blog is meeting its original purpose!

Your new gig sounds well worth the procrastination–I’m envious, really, as I teach literature at the high school level, but am temporarily on hiatus while out of the country and missing it very much.

Yeah, I figure you have your priorities right, that’s just my way of noting that you shouldn’t feel guilty for neglecting this place.

Meh, I wouldn’t beat yourself up about it. Quality is better than quantity and your stuff is always worth waiting for so people will come to your blog regardless of frequency.

There’s a big debate over how often one should post and there doesn’t seem to be any definitive law, probably because there just isn’t a right answer. I’m actually thinking of cutting down my post frequency because it’s so time consuming but I’m an addict

My WoW blogs are written in English. They just have a number of terms, phrases, and acronyms accenting the prose that makes them poetry in their own right.

….right?

I know it is. I just get incredibly engrossed in my hobbies to the point where I feel bad when I neglect them.

And ancient lit is great; it’s just intense reading two major works every week and preparing 3 hour lessons for each.

I am also looking forward to March. First, because it will be lovely to not have two husbandless evenings every week. And just as importantly, I look forward to your blog actually being written in English again.

Pff, your *job* is infinitely more important than this place.

Ancient literature sounds interesting, too.

Yeah, once March comes and I have far less prep work to do, I’ll be able to get back to my normal schedule of reading and writing for pleasure. Right now, it’s ancient literature or bust.

You have pretty good reasons why it did not work out. But the year just started, and nothing stops you from pursuing your resolutions with more success after your 8 weeks of intense teaching.
