My Neurosis
I think I've developed a neurosis regarding posting. I seem to have an emotional attachment to my posts, and whatsmore, the more recent the post, the stronger the attachment seems to be--probably because I always think that my latest work is my best work.
Now, this wouldn't be too terribly disturbing except that on occasion I find myself paralyzed from creating any new posts. After all, if my most recent post was the best, then why would I possibly want to cover it up with a new one? I want everyone who comes to this site to see my best work.
But logically, if my latest post is always the best one, then any new post I would venture to write would outshine the one I cling to so dearly, which has happened on every occasion.
Except, of course, for this time. I really can't wait to bury this one.
(If you want to wash this bad taste from your mouth, go back and read "The Truf" or "The Last Bumblebee." Those were pretty good ones. I've been in a linking mood lately, and I'd link to them, except that all you really have to do is scroll down. I really want to link to something, though, so I'm going to send you here. If you've been there, go again. Isn't that awesome? That, right there, is what the internet is all about.)

I totally know how that is. It's hard to convince yourself that by adding a new post to the top of your list, your readers won't miss whatever brilliant thing you came up with before. It's sort of a reminder that everything is transient and ever-changing and okay, here I go off on a philosophical tangent...
But that's the cool thing about blogs. They're always new and different.
