December was a 5-Saturday month which meant another 5-part short story on my little blog. The premise of the story came to me in the form of a Chevy commercial. I had been toying with a similar idea for some time that never materialized. But after watching the ad on social media, my own thought began to sprout.
To be honest, when I thought of the idea I became excited. I really thought this was the best idea I had ever had and that this would be the writing that would get me noticed. “This is what I will be remembered for!” I jubilantly thought to myself.
Luckily, I did not share that thought with anyone until now. But I know you won’t judge me. Much.
As it turned out, the execution of the idea did not quite live up to the blueprint. I could blame it on the holiday season. I was too busy to sit down and actually write while the coals were hot. Once I did sit down to write I was left with merely fumes that I tried to grab and write down. It was, shall we say, less than effective.
But the truth of the matter is, writing doesn’t excite me as much as it needs to to motivate me. While I am holding onto my little blog hoping the spark will catch fire I am spending less time writing. I think the stats for my blog is confirming my thought. My numbers have dropped drastically this past year. I think what is missing is my heart and enthusiasm. Despite an increase in proficiency without heart it makes for a rather bland reading experience.
So, what will 2024 bring? More posts or maybe an end to ck’s days? Stay tuned to find out (because I don’t know the answer to that yet).
