Ebb and Flow

I've been doing some lurking lately, attempting to reestablish contact with some old blogosphere friends, only to find that many have vanished. It's sad to have lost touch with these virtual brothers- and sisters-in-arms, kindred spirits and like-minded souls - I hope they're all doing wonderfully and pursuing TTWD with gusto!

Although I'm disappointed to have let these relationships lapse, should I really expect anything different, considering my own vanishing act?

Lately, Daddy and I have been discussing the ebbs and flows of blog writing and the inherently incandescent nature of most sex blogs. They burn hot, yet they flame out quickly.

It's tough to keep your audience engaged. It's damn near impossible to keep the demands of "real life" from intruding into your private sphere. It's frustrating to find yourself writing out of obligation rather than inspiration. And it's maddening to discover that you've used up every last euphemism in the book for penis!*

Regardless of the reasons that we create, abandon, revisit, rethink, abandon (again) and rejoin our blogs, it's wonderful to know that there will always be folks out there to share their journeys and those who happily follow right along with us. Of course, I give my sincerest praise to those of you who manage to keep the thread going, even in the face of myriad challenges.

May you continue to burn hot for a long time to come.
