CONSISTENCY

I haven’t been robbed and I haven’t survived a fire but I have nomadically moved my email accounts from one device to another in the past month. I think it is now safe to say I have stopped moving. I started thinking of this month’s challenge and it regards consistency and five blog posts in a row for five days consistently. With a theme.

That was a test. A test that I have failed. With examinations on my right, responsibilities and obligations on my left it was hard to get myself into the silent corner in my head. The silent corner that puts words together in a way that I love. I love to write. It is therapeutic. It is the one gift that benefits the writer before it benefits the reader. But every gift must be handled responsibly. When we started the blog I wrote every day, maybe even several times a day. I enjoyed it. Then I wrote less, then I became inconsistent. Now the blog is haphazard in the flow of notes. When we started we promised a level of honesty even in fiction. So I will honestly own up and say I am guilty of inconsistency. I could deliver at a hundred one day and then dwindle in the fifties the next day. I love this blog. That is why I chose not to post unless I am giving a hundred. It’s a lot like a relationship this blog and I. The first months are heated with talking all day everyday then the inconsistencies come in then you get comfortable talking whenever you talk but you don’t break it off because you love each other. I am not going to promise to post daily. I don’t break promises and I don’t want to break that one. However, I will promise to give a hundred. I promise to always make every post a baby born out of the love making between words and thought processes in the silent corner in my head. I will consistently give a hundred. I will consistently speak my mind and occasionally pour in the contents of my heart regardless of who likes it, is ‘feeling’ it or who thinks I’ve lost the plot. Self-expression is the art here.

So when couples make declarations of love they have to follow it with an action that declares that love. So my theme is relations. This month I have spent a lot of time thinking and looking at relations between humans. Maybe it is because I am into people science or I am just nosey but relations is the theme. I have 24 hours left of July to exhaust this theme. Five posts? Can it be done? Definitely.
