Listen up, people! I am officially making you a promise.
My promise is this: Until New Year's, I will blog every day. Every single day I will post something, big or small, for you to read, chuckle at, cry about, roll your eyes over or just have show up in your feed burners. I swear on my red KMB peep-toes - and you know I would never joke about them.
For this resolution to work, though, I will need guidelines. I mostly sit down to write after a long day at school, and nine out of ten times my experience is much like this:
Brain: 'Ooh, I feel like writing! Writing lots! I want to write about the heavy, important things in life, or about how difficult relationships can be, or maybe even something witty yet insightful about popular culture!'
*turn on Macbeth*
*open Scrivener*
Brain: '...'
Fingers: *typing* www.facebook.com *press enter*
Yeah, I know, excuses excuses, but this time I really mean it! Like, really-really!
Or, you know, I'll give it a shot.
So I'm thinking a sort of Theme of the Day thing might help me along.
Munchies Monday - Mondays I'm usually tired, but if there's one thing I'm never too tired for, it's food.
Troubled Tuesday - This topic is a bottomless pit. I know how to cry on command.
Wicked Wednesday - I feel like the bitch in me needs to be aired out more often.
Things I Love Thursday - A lazy post-choir-rehearsal entry about mainly girly stuff and the joys of it.
Friends and Family Friday - Just because they deserve more entry space.
Soul Food Saturday - Books, music, films and all the other cultural stuff that makes life a little better.
Substantial Sunday - Because Sunday is when I have time for that sort of thing.
So the question is, should I ride with this, or do any of you have suggestions for improvements?

A couple of tips for lazy days: Remember that...
... there's always a website you can recommend to your readers.
... you are allowed to break longer posts into parts or label something WIP.
... quotes are good, and funny real life conversations can be great
... recycling can work (if you have any good unpublished stuff)
... although perfectionism makes life interesting, imperfect writing is better than breaking this promise (and you can always edit later)
... even the pros have posts along the lines of "Sorry I won't be blogging today. I am very busy and important." So if YOU don't, you're better than them.
... maybe I should do this too. Or I could give you my leftover ideas, if I'm too busy and important myself. :-)
I think I'll try and make one of the days - maybe silly Saturday? - into one where I can fit all the cultural stuff. Hmmm..... Need something beginning with an s, though. *thinky hard*
