femminista: thoughts of a feminist rhetorician

If I aspire to be a semi-professional blogger, I should probably post more than once every couple of months! What can I say; these posts--"the apology posts" as I like to call them--have become staples of my site. I have a writing disease--perfectionism. My anxiety over making a post perfect prior to posting it is causing me to not post at all. I vow to overcome the writer's anxiety. I'd like people to actually read my work at some point:)

It seems that time--without consideration for your comfort and wishes--continues to go on. The result is that all those things you thought you'd get done during your short break, they're still undone. In my defense, I have been under the influence of drugs this last week. My dental work on Wednesday required sedation and the pain, well the pain resulted in almost a week of Lortab and then, starting Monday, Valium at night. Hello, from Valley of the Dolls! Seriously. Just to be clear--it's not Lortab and Valium; it's one or the other but not both.

So, all of my time limitations (and intermittent cognitive disfunction) has resulted in no blogging. My goal is to be a more reliable and consistent blogger. My strategy to achieve this goal is to add certain features to my blog that place stricter deadlines on my blogging. Also, because there are frequently tidbits of information that I'd like to blog about but lack the time to fully explore in writing, I will be using the short blurb with a link strategy. My tentative weekly posts are: Monday's News of the Weird, which will feature odd (but true) stories from around the globe, and Friday's Link Roundup, which will feature interesting links collected throughout the week. The Link Roundup will likely be theme-based and we'll go from there....
