A Threat, A Promise
It figures that right after I restart raise this blog from the dead Lorelle has a post about why people stop blogging. I guess it could be sad, but I prefer to see things another way.
I think that the decision to end a blog depends partly on the reason why it was started in the first place. Juggle Chainsaws will stop when there’s nothing I can do with programming stuff anymore. Sapid Existence will stop when the photography stops (which could be the day I die, we’ll see about that).
As for this, it’s a whole different ballgame. I started this as a collection of thoughts. Eventually that could either prove to be too much to keep up with because of other commitments taking over my time or I could just get into a line of work where I don’t have much to say that wouldn’t jeopardize my career. I’m already close to that working at a preschool now, but I’ve got Winthrop to fuel a lot of things.
So, about the title…. For one thing, I thought that it just sounded better than just having it be “A Promise.” It makes it more of a necessary thing in my mind. So, I promise/threaten to keep writing this blog until either the passion runs out or I just don’t have time for it anymore. And when that happens, I promise not to just kill it. Instead, I’ll put up a notice of absense letting you know that I’m taking a vacation from blogging. If you are taking the time to read this, then you deserve to see if I’ll be updating in the foreseeable future.

Good for you for figuring out where your priorities lie within yourself as they apply to your blog. A blog is a great place to share with the world as well as build a community. If you want community, it comes with responsibilities. Many forget that.
