Writing: It's what I do, not who I am

I've learned something about myself today: I have ADD...or some variation of it, at least as far as the Internet is concerned.

This blog has been in existence for just over a year now and although I would love to have a funky design for it, I don't have the energy to devote to creating one. I'm not a techie; I don't understand HTML. The thought of sitting at my desk trying to finagle a certain look for my blog just tires me, so I'm not about to put the effort into actually doing it. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate a nicely crafted website, however.

My friend Kristin's blog is phenomenal -- both because of its design and because of its content. Her skills as a photographer blow me out of the water and her writing is so easy to read. Add to that her ability to design a website and, well, I'm green with envy.

I barely have the motivation to write here on a consistent basis, mostly because I write for a living and sometimes I think writing for fun is more tedious than enjoyable. I love writing and I still aspire to write a book someday, so the fact that I can't work up the enthusiasm to jot down a few thoughts now and then is concerning to me.

But now that I'm thinking about it, I would like to at least attempt to come up with a new blog template.

See? Anything to keep from having to actually write.
