YOU’RE ALLOWED TO MISS A SELF-IMPOSED DEADLINE

It’s mildly amusing to see how many of my fellow bloggers apologize when they haven’t posted anything for several days. Or weeks. Or months.

I want to cry out to them, “Don’t worry!” And then, “No need to apologize!” After all, there’s no shortage of material on the Web or even here in our WordPress networks. Nobody’s paying you to write, there are no hard deadlines you’re required to meet, you’re not being graded. The whole point is to have fun and then, if time allows, share your experiences and insights. In reality, few of us are keeping track of who’s posting daily … we just enjoy reading good stuff when it’s there, especially when it’s coming from a circle whose company we enjoy.

That, I should emphasize, is the crucial detail: post when you have something to say, not just to fill space.

Unlike many of you, I have a whole lifetime of writing to fall back on, but as you already know, the Red Barn is a different kind of blog, one with its own mission. And accept my thanks for stopping by when you visit. Especially those of you who leave comments, where I never know what to expect.

Now, what’s on the menu for tomorrow? We’ll see. Maybe I need to step out and check the garden.
