This afternoon I’m going to buy a tape recorder.
I go days — weeks — between writing blog posts for my job or for this blog mainly because I just don’t have the time to think, no less write. During the work day I consolidate various emails and articles that generate post ideas but by the time I complete my immediate job responsibilities it’s time to close up shop and head home.
It’s the same at home — open the mail, skim through the paper — oh, that’s interesting, put it aside to blog about — dinner, bills, kids’ homework, catch up on freelance work or volunteer responsibilities, catch up on email — I’m beat, time to crash.
But when I’m in the car, mostly in the morning on the way to work, the ideas come – and of course I can’t write anything down. So I think I’ll give the old tape recorder a shot. Maybe there’s a really a burgeoning podcaster inside me trying to get out!
