			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post in response to a questions my friend <a href="http://kmcgivney.typepad.com/kathleen_mcgivney/2010/02/the-illusion-of-silence.html">Kathleen</a> asked on her <a href="http://kmcgivney.typepad.com/kathleen_mcgivney/">blog</a>.<br />
&#8220;So what motivates you? What gets you to flesh out tweets into posts, or take that idea you talked about with your friend via instant messenger into a full-on blog post? What keeps you posting often, and more importantly, what do you do when you hit a dry spell and can&#8217;t come up with anything to blog about?&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is my response to her, in the form of my own blog post.<br />
I hear you. I am in the same boat. I wrote<a href="http://www.fejsez.com/2009/10/21/missing/"> something like that in October</a>. By the time I have time to sit and blog, I feel like I have already said it somewhere. What will actually get a full post out of me really depends on where I am at the time the Idea comes to fruition. If I am home by the computer, and it is more than a 140c. thought, than I will write a post on fejsez.com. Even though I have the WordPress app on the iPhone, it is not as easy to write. (Maybe that will change with the iPad <img src='http://www.fejsez.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> ) Other than that, I subscribe to the cult of done, and if I have said it, I move on, or if it goes too long from thought and I don&#8217;t write it, I move on. (I also use a lot of comma&#8217;s to make run-on sentences). Another thing that makes140c. posting easier is I get to spend more time experiencing things and spending time with Katie and others and less time writing. Between our work schedules that quality time is cherished and I don&#8217;t want to lose it. I am ok letting my blog go dormant for a while. That is the wonderfulness of RSS and Twitter. When I do write a post, people that follow me will know then.  I recently renewed my web hosting after letting it go dormant for a few months.  Mainly to have the webspace to test site designs for my mother in law. (I want to redo her site, which is on a Flash-based template and not the easiest to edit.) It also gave me a chance to renew the Wheaton&#8217;s law site I made. (www.ruleoftheinternet.com) </p>
<p>While I aspire to write more, when I don&#8217;t have time and not in the practice, it is hard to do. I have been trying to do www.750words.com to practice, but I have been having trouble finding the time. Like I mentioned before, the time with Katie when we are not working or riding (her horse, my bike) is valuable. Add to that Jasper, our puppy, who requires a lot of attention and walks it makes it hard. I have the potential to get up early and spend 30-60 minutes writing, but we all know potential=not doing shit right now.  I am hoping that now that we are settled here in texas I will be able to get into the groove and write more about the new experiences her in Austin. I do feel better when I have the writing outlet. But as most prolific bloggers and writers have said, the best way to get better at writing is to write, and not be afraid to suck. I think lately I have been doing too much self editing in my head and not writing enough of it down, no matter how scattered it may feel.<br />
Most of all, when I don&#8217;t have anything to blog about, I don&#8217;t.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After a 4 month haitus, I renewed my hosting with Dreamhost. Luckily for me they kept everything here! Even <a href="http://www.ruleoftheinternet.com">ruleoftheinternet.com</a>, which has <a href="http://http.//wilwheaton.typepad.net">Wheaton&#8217;s Law</a> on it, was saved.<br />
I hope to be updating and getting back into my geek mode more now that I don&#8217;t have the Lead responsibility I formerly had. That and I am learning to not tale work home with me.<br />
Most of all expect more pictures of the cats and of our new puppy Jasper. Here he is with Katie&#8217;s horse Dallas.  </p>
