EDITOR’S NOTE: Andrew has really dug himself into a creative hole this time. He was going to write this blog for last Saturday on the following Wednesday. Then try to write a blog for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Then he had the thought — how about taking a week off, ex post facto, as a birthday present to himself? Then he weighed out the following pros and cons of a weeklong vacation from blogging:
A WEEK OFF: PROS AND CONS
PRO: Already five days behind anyway.
CON: Have enough material to write five current posts.
PRO: No one really reads blog posts that go up five days late.
CON: Every blog entry counts toward a body of work.
PRO: Will relieve pressure to overproduce or half-ass to make up for past mistakes.
CON: Will break commitment made in January to produce 365 blog entries in 2011.
PRO: Would allow me to just free-write and stockpile material to make future blogs better.
CON: Who am I kidding? If I give myself a week off, I’m not doing anything productive.
PRO: You’re gonna take the lazy way out anyway.
CON: You’re right, Pro, damn you.
See you in a week.
