Oh yeah; the problem is more that as I write con reports, they spiral out into never-endingness. I'm, um, up to about 10:30 on Friday morning so far. *kof* And one of my problems is if I say to myself, "self, just post what you have for now, and write the rest later", later never comes; it gets checked off as done in my mental list of things to do, and I never go back to it. I can keep going as long as I don't post it till it's all done, though! ... usually! If I give myself permission to skip stuff!

Which I totally will/am this year; doing full vid reviews is something I miss and I wish more people did, but dear *god* they're a lot of work. And it's tempting with the streaming to want to review every single vid WOO! -- but that's what, 250 vids, or so? ahaha no. Even just doing a full DVD set takes me a few months of pretty steady work, since I'm not the speediest at vid parsing. (And there's also panels to report on, of course! But those I can parse in progress much more easily *g*)

But yes, definitely breaking it up is the way to go overall! So I write a bit of con report almost every day, then post something else. *g* And come the day I'm done (or close enough), I'll post in parts, too, rather than overwhelm anyone.

And yes! I'm also finding that with posting every day, suddenly I'm much more likely to be willing to just post a link or two to something, because it's not like that's the first thing I've said in, er, months, or that it will be the only thing I say for more months. It's remarkably freeing, inside its particular restraints!

So I am embracing the randomness of finding something (different) to post about every day, which I'm sure some days will wind up being "and here's another bit about what I said yesterday" but hey, that's okay too.
