BWO

Have you all noticed the little "Blogging Without Obligation" logo way down at the bottom of the sidebar at right? This is a wonderful little philosophical statement distributed by Down the Tartx Rabbit Hole. It has made all the difference in the world to my blogging.

From that site, here are my favorite reasons for writing about only what I feel like writing about, only when I feel like writing.

Because I shouldn't have to look at my blog like it's a treadmill

Because it's okay to just say what I have to say

Because sometimes less is more
(although "less" can rarely be used to describe my pontifications)

Because I will naturally keep my blog around longer if it isn't a chore
Blogging without obligation means I do a bit less family reporting and a bit more self-entertainment. It means my posts are more about me than my readers. And it means you will probably never see the words "blog neglect" on my blog again, because, well, there is no such thing! Blogging is now a Free Enterprise.
