Consistency or Constancy

I am struggling with writing.  I have lots of things in my mind to write, but little time to develop them into a worthy missive. Sometimes I don't even have that much going on in my brain that I would like to put down on paper. And many times I'm just too tired to write or think about writing.  But if I am completely honest, I must admit that I enjoy writing and wish I could do more thinking and reflecting that would lead to a topic for my blog.
Because of a desire to be more consistent in putting thoughts to paper as it were, ( a blog is completely-tree-free) I want to attempt to write shorter but more frequent prose.
My daughter has this ability down-pat.  She writes about her day, posts photos, and tells stories or posts poems.   By reading her blog, one can see a glimpse into what makes her happy, sad, frustrated, or excited. She even posted a blog 'every day for the month of May'.  I won't pretend to aspire to that dedication, but I would like to emulate her by making my posts a little less intimidating to me by writing in a less strict style; with consistency.
Maybe by posting regularly and with greater constancy, my desire to write and post will directly correspond to the time I have to reflect on my day or the topics that interest me.

Whatever you do Faith, keep writing. I encourage you to keep going. The Lord will help you with time, frequency, words etc. I have found out the hard way that when I'm inspired, if I don't take the time to write thoughts down soon after that, then my original thoughts are lost with that same passion I had for writing them, never to return in the same way. I have put off writing some things only to regret it later, when I don't have the words, but have the time. You are a great writer, I enjoy reading your writings. From one writer to another be encouraged and of good cheer! Keep doing what you love. It will all come together. Have a blessed night.
