The Bad News ... and the Good News

The bad news is that I've been in a bit of a creative dry spell lately. Add to that the fact that I've been very busy and that I've finally found myself interested in reading again (for some reason, I've been in a bit of a slow reading phase for a while; I'm usually a voracious reader). Thus, while I'm still working on captions, they seem to be coming a bit slower than they were before (and I really need weekends to clear my head and focus).

The good news is that because I've only been posting one or two captions a day, I still have a backlog of about 50 completed captions! Thus, even if I only find time to work on new captions on weekends, I should easily have enough to get me through the end of the year with little difficulty! And when I do get a creative spark, I find that I often find myself completing 5 or more captions in an evening's work ... er ... play.

And, though my creativity is at a bit of low right now, the collection of images in my "to be captioned" folder holds a lot of possibility (not to mention a lot of images).

Also, while I know that I talked about wanting to participate more at the Haven, I've found that with my time as limited as it has been, I've been focusing more on my own captioning and image cataloging and less on being a part of the community. I suspect that my priorities are a bit screwed up there ... but sometimes taking the easy route and focusing just on me is ... well ... easier. I'd really like to leave more comments on other blogs, but again, for some reason that I'm not really sure that I can identify, I haven't been very good about that.

But I do love the comments that people leave here and I've been trying (though not always successfully) to respond and engage those who leave comments. So please, please keep up the communication!
