I've been a little disappointed with myself for not always living up to my goal of writing something for this every day. The way the script works I can easily back-fill days that I've missed, but that doesn't change the basic problem. After all, the guys who run spinnwebe.com and notmydesk.com can write stuff every day, so why can't I?
Well, maybe I'm being too hard on myself. Spinnwebe doesn't have daily updates any more, for the exact same problem I'm having -- lack of content. And Not My Desk is mostly about the author's experiences temping. He basically gets new material on a regular basis.
That, and creativity seems to come more easily to those guys. I do well enough when given a problem to solve (and in a way I enjoy that) but just having something materialize out of the blue -- whether for something to write or for a page design -- just doesn't seem possible with me.
Doesn't exactly give me that warm, fuzzy feeling when I think of it that way.
