Publish Worthy?
Back in 2010... I started this blog as a way of documenting my hobby experiences and corresponding with others who share a passion for cardboard. Over those five years, I've built a fair share of friendships online and published over 1,250 posts... which is pretty hard for me to fathom.
It's just crazy. The amount of time that goes into each post can range from a few minutes to a few hours, with most posts falling in the 15 minute to 75 minute spectrum. Multiply that by twelve hundred and that's a huge part of my life.
Breaking down this information makes me appreciate everyone else's blogs that much more. Keep it up guys!
Anyways... over the past year or so, I'm finding myself sitting in front of my laptop with nothing to write about on a more frequent basis. Combine this factor to a bigger "self-imposed" work load and to be honest... it's a little scary. My hopes are that I'll be able to continue writing about cards until I ride off into the sunset of senior citizenship. However... I've started to wonder if that's actually realistic.
I guess only time will tell.
In the meantime... I'm going to continue to chug along and write posts that I consider "publish" worthy.
I'm not talking about the ones that are complete and scheduled to post. Nor am I talking about the ones waiting for the right moment in time. I'm talking about the ones you've started... but never completed. The ones you're still fine-tuning and debating on whether or not you should just push the delete button.
I've slowly been purging my collection of "unpublished posts"... including the one I had scheduled for yesterday. I'm down to only five. It actually feels refreshing... almost like coming back to work and sitting down at an uncluttered desk.
Anyways... I've rambled enough. Here are a pair of updates...
2015 Tier One Acclaimed Autographs #AGA
#1 My COMCorder has arrived. Just need to sort everyone's stuff out and I should have packages in the mail sometime next week. There were only a handful of cards for myself. This Galarraga was one of them. It took awhile, but I've finally added the Big Cat'ssignature to my Montreal Expos PC.
#2Tristar still hasn't responded to my public service announcement. It's been less than two weeks, so I guess there's still hope. If you collect certified autographs and haven't read this post... you might want to check it out.
Happy Thursday and sayonara!

Does anyone else have a bunch of "unpublished posts" sitting in their "post depository"?
