No one updates their blog enough

No one updates their blog enough. But this is okay, because if my complaint was, “Everyone updates their blog too often,” it would tell you something about blogs and how much they matter to me—namely that they don’t. But they do, even though I have not had time to read blogs this summer. A statement that previously would have seemed ridiculous to me because one can always find some time. But this summer I spent less time than usual online, and I’m not sorry about this. But it’s wondrous to come to blogs, today while I eat my lunch, home alone, Iris’s first day of kindergarten. Feeling emotional, obviously, but blogs are such a solace, and I feel like my friends have all been here for me. And I want to share their posts with you.

I don’t usually end my blog posts with questions, encouraging readers to engage in a more organic fashion, but I’m genuinely curious here, so I’m going to break my rule. What blogs have you been appreciating lately? Any posts you’ve written that you’re particularly proud of?

    Thanks, Kerry! I really enjoy writing a blog–because it’s writing eh? it’s all writing–but when writing fiction takes up a huge chunk of the day, blog writing tails off. As I’m sure you know.
    A favourite blog you haven’t mentioned is Matilda Magtree. She’s not only smart and funny, but has an amazing camera eye too.

      Yes yes yes! She is one of my favourites. Why didn’t I read her too over lunch? Will go there now…

        Added to my list, obviously….
