when a blogger becomes a “slogger”

Apparently this happens more often than not. Bloggers start out with good intentions… get sidetracked… come back to the blog… only to once again get out of the habit of blogging…

Then along comes another blogging platform…. like Posterous… and we think we will be a better blogger. Now we have TWO blogs we aren’t blogging on. The “web log” is sodden and weighed down, like a completely different kind of log.

I think bloggers like me should be called “sloggers” because we tend to drag our feet – we have great intentions but we aren’t consistently there. It’s like walking through deep snow. Hard to take every step.

Luckily, even though we aren’t blogging, we are still hosting concerts, listening to indie music and attending conferences… We are still maintaining a great website http://acousticroof.ca that was nominated by CBC Radio’s top music websites in Canada this winter. No, we didn’t win, but we have made a lot of new friends…

Here’s a photo from our Kim Wempe and Carmel Mikol show in our own living room. Both were nominated for East Coast Music Awards (ECMA). No hardware was brought home, but these talented women will continue to move their audiences with original words, sung from the heart.
