When I was using it, I really enjoyed having this space to write and ruminate. Obviously, I haven't been using it for some time. The first reason is I've allowed myself to believe I don't have time to write, which is always phooey. The second reason is the further space I have from writing the more difficult it becomes to return. The third reason is the few times I've gone for it I've done so in the genre of poetry, offline and on paper. The fourth and most interesting reason is the lack of limitations on this blog. In both form and content, I have free reign here, and while that may suit some writers just fine, that is actually a big hindrance to my productivity and creativity. History shows that I create better with enforced structure and limitations (such as form poetry or parody).
For my next online project, then, I have chosen one particular limitation: length. If you wish to continue reading what I write, please join me at 140words.tumblr.com. Thank you.
