This isn’t a shock since I haven’t posted in two weeks and barely in the last month. It’s more accurately “gone” not “going” I suppose.

This blogging drought is largely due to having so many clients at the moment that I have work coming out of my ears. I’m certainly not going to write a bunch of blog entries when I have clients paying me to meet deadlines with high-quality work.

It’s a good problem to have most days. It’s made even better by the fact that I’m working with some great clients who are doing wonderful work. It’s a very creative time for me. And I get paid to do all this. On top of that, it’s spring! How great is that?

At some point, I’m going to pick up the project of the much-needed redesign of my current professional site. Little secret of freelance web designers and writers – our sites rarely ever get touched because we’re building sites for everyone else.

I have some big projects in the pipeline for the summer, so I feel like I’m jumping into a great season in my freelance life. Great projects are coming to me; what a gift! Back in the 8-to-5 world, people often dump thankless projects on you. Mmmmm. That’s fresh air I smell over here; come outside all ye cube-dwellers!

So between family, clients, getting my business more organized, grabbing some time to write stories, and other important, day-to-day stuff, blogging is ranking about 9th. Someday I’ll be one of those people who blog about as naturally as they breathe and crank out insightful posts over morning cereal. I’m not there yet.

I will post from time to time in the lulls in the action that I hope will appear. Someday I hope to be a ‘regular’ at this. There’s so much I want to write about, but slapping up some half-written stuff in a blog doesn’t seem that edifying to the world to me.

In the meantime, my advice: Keep the pen moving; everything else will take care of itself.
