Only a person who is congenitally self-centered has the effrontery and the stamina to write essays. –E.B. White.
The same could be said for people who blog.
Last year was a shitty year. And in a way, I think I lost my voice.
With a return to blogging, I am going to try to find it again.
Today’s cartoon flashback comes from a big Q&A post on blogging I pulled together a couple of years ago. Specifically from Nathan Yau‘s response when asked about his biggest blogging challenge.
The biggest challenge with FlowingData is probably maintaining the right balance between academic and casual. If I get too technical, I confuse a lot of readers, but I can’t get too casual, because I might oversimplify concepts that are actually complex.
So I know I’ve been quiet lately.
You know how it is, something comes up, you overextend and then all of a sudden you are knocked out of a habit. Then once you’re out, it can be really hard to get back in.
For me there is only one way out. Cartoon my way!
Daily cartoons are coming for the next little bit. For those of you who receive my email, it’s going to temporarily switch to a weekly digest. If I’m able to keep it up for a bit, we’ll think about doing something more permanent.
Today’s cartoon inspired by Seth Godin:
“There’s a fundamental difference between the things you do every day, every single day, and the things you do only when the spirit moves you.
One difference is that once you’ve committed to doing something daily, you find that the spirit moves you, daily.
Rather than having a daily debate about today’s agenda, you can decide once that you will do something, and then decide every single day how to do it.”
