More than six months after starting this project, I’m happy to feel like blogging has done what I was hoping it would. I do feel like I’ve restored a sense of freedom in the things that I wrote, and reconnected with the physical sensation that writing used to give me back in the old days. Writing a long post, culling it, editing it, filling in the links, and sending it off, ultimately leaves me with the sensation of having gone for a run or done a workout. There’s something about grabbing the hyperlinks off the web browser and adding them into the text, or taking a link and running it through Bitly before sending to Twitter, that remind of what it was like to edit ambient sound for radio pieces. It’s work keeping up a blog, and there’s lots of days when it doesn’t feel like it’s worth all the hassle. I suppose it wouldn’t be if there were never days like that.
