I am a contrary human being. All over the world, people are sharing via their computers and the internet. Political movements are given umph via Twitter and Facebook. Blogs are being written and posted and auto-published on multiple platforms. Personal "brands" are being burnished in the ether that is modern communication. And I have less and less desire to participate.
For those of you might notice these sorts of things, I've removed the Pagan Blog Project widget. I am just not keeping up with the project. I thought it would give me the inspiration and the push to write more often, but it has not. All it has done for me is given me something to do that doesn't get done and a deadline to be surprised by. And I've been surprised by it every week. So I've taken the widget off and will not berate myself for not participating.
I am spending more time interacting with actual humans, no keyboard interface needed. I find that highly satisfying, both for the interaction and because I did do a bit of magic to help bring that about. And I am always up for meeting new people, especially those of you who would only be new to me in the fleshly sense. If you want to stop by, I'll put up a pot of tea.

Blogging should be inspired from within, not from a project telling you you should. I'm a part of it too, but like you, have not have the time, or the motivation to blog a cotton pickin thing. I'd be over in a heartbeat for a cuppa and a convo.

:) Let me know when to expect you, and I'll have cookies, too.
I'm doing the project, but I have no intention of following the schedule. For that matter, I'm not even posting in order. I don't really work well with other people's blogging schedules, it seems way too forced for me.
I have done a bit of magick with the same goal. It hasn't manifested fully yet but I have seen the threads starting to form.
It seems to manifest slowly, Robert, but I suppose that for "real" relationships that makes sense. Now, when are you and I going to get that chance to sit down for tea and cookies?
