I apologize for not posting very often. I could make all the normal excuses, but the fact is, I hate to post unless I have a “big idea” to relate.

Unfortunately the “big Idea” thing is an unnecessary constraint on me, and discourages creative flow while encouraging writers block.

So I am promising myself, and you, that I will post more often. The reverse of this statement is that I make no guarantee of having a “big idea” in every post. But perhaps enough little ideas will be sufficient to build and keep the interest of my readers.

It all goes back to the Zen idea of “Attachment”. As long as I am attached to the idea of a big idea, I’ll probably only rarely have one, and I’ll write less because my internal dialog is criticizing everything I say. To desire a “big idea” is a sure way of blocking one
