Falling behind

So, it seems that I've fallen behind on my weekly blogging. I believe that this is part and parcel of my - diminishing, but existing - resistance to put myself on display. This probably seems weird, considering that I'm a writer and my goal is to make my work public. However, the separation of my work from me is something that I have always found comfort in. I'm social and can even be outgoing...but, not in a center-of-attention sort of way. I'm not shy and don't try to fade into the background, but I've never been interested in putting myself on display.

Which brings me to the phenomenon of facebook. I've found myself updating my status daily. My status updates used to (and for the most part, still are) abstract and ambiguous. Most often, they share the "status"of my daydreams, flights of fancy or opinion on things going on around me. However, lately, more than once, I've actually updated my physical status. For instance, last week I shared with all of my facebook "friends" that I was picking my little sister up from the airport. That seemed overly self-indulgent and later, I wished I hadn't have been so specific.

Anyway, there are so many ways of putting ourselves on display now. And, I'd rather put my work on display. I think I'm going to aim for less facebook time and more focus on my writing. I'm also looking for more creative ways to use my blog to further my writerly goals.
