Kelly's Blog-on-a-Stick

So I am doing the December photo project this year…

I want to do this daily posting to help me get better at blogging. I was thinking to myself about how to make it sustainable because, as I readily admit, I stink at consistency and blogging. My first idea was to take a picture of myself wherever I was at a certain time of day, but that is tough because my job isn’t really flexible like that. Just stopping what I am doing and pulling out a camera every day at 9:15 am would get me fired, most likely. But taking a picture at the same time every day does sound like something I can remember to do.

One thing I do every day, on my own time, is eat lunch. Therefore, I am going to post what I had for lunch every day this month. Remember now… this is about building a habit. This is not about being a great photographer or brave art or any other lofty goal. I want to blog more. I eat lunch every day. I can use my cell phone camera. Easy. Decision made.

So, without further ado, here is what I ate for lunch today:

Fried chicken, fried okra, roll, honey, ketchup, hot sauce, Dr. Pepper (and one stray french fry)

Not the lunch I am most proud to present to the world, but I have a weakness for fried chicken. I AM from the south, you know… A side benefit from this project is that I will probably eat better (after today) since I will be sharing my menu with my thousands of adoring fans.

OK, first post has to be done so here it is…

“Blog-on-a-Stick” was the title on my first blog opened in Blogger about three years ago. It was a total failure. I had no idea what to write, or felt like I had to write brilliant prose that would inspire millions. Total flop.

I then opened “katsuras-liminal-space” on Blogger and kept it completely private. Just a place for me to do some necessary soul work and keep notes there. I love what I wrote, but still… not very prolific. Apparently writing is a bit of a chore for me. I am very much regretting not having a better habit of writing in the liminal space, because that time is over. I have completed a huge life-transition and don’t have a whole lot to document the process. I still have the blog and will probably still do some writing there, but only as a look back at that time, instead of writing about what I experienced as it was happening.

That is what I regret most about katsuras-liminal-space and what I hope to rectify in Blog-on-a-Stick. Wish me luck…
