I’ve decided to scale back my posts about the coronavirus to one post per week, published on Saturday.
Blogging is writing. One has to conjure a topic. Think about what to say. Then write. Edit. Read aloud. Edit again. Proof. Post.
The process takes a minimum of one hour. There is no way to reduce this time requirement and maintain quality. Also, there is no way to get back that hour. It’s gone forever.
I work 10 hours a day at my chaplain job. I have, at most, one hour a day to devote to writing. That hour must go to the book I am writing about recovering from Covid-19.
Therefore, I’m changing my mind about daily blog posts. I won’t regret it.

It was a noble thought and and as a writer myself I totally understand and applaud your decision. Because we love to write it’s easy to underestimate all of what you mentioned and overestimate how many hours in our day are already committed. I will look forward to your weekly posts.
