Comments on: Top 10 Blogosphere Pet Peeves http://metabestblogwin.com/2006/12/11/top-10-blogosphere-pet-peeves/ It's like that story in D. Hofstadter's book about the Tortoise, Achilles and the Djinni who pushed and popped their way into nested levels of awareness, only it's a blog.

I have it in my head that I *need* to post twice a day: once in the morning, and once in the afternoon. This is *despite* many people whom I respect telling me that I should ease up, and maybe not even post every day. This would certainly give me more time to write quality entries, but I have this compulsion that I cannot shake. I must work to post twice a day. I've been better lately, I'll admit. I don't sweat it if I miss the second post, and sometimes I'm even cool delaying (or skipping) the morning post. But to skip an entire day? That would cause some sort of withdrawal symptoms, I think. This is a Bad Thing, and I need to fix it, but I don't know how. but then why bother posting at all?

I’ve been better lately, I’ll admit. I don’t sweat it if I miss the second post, and sometimes I’m even cool delaying (or skipping) the morning post. But to skip an entire day? That would cause some sort of withdrawal symptoms, I think.

This is a Bad Thing, and I need to fix it, but I don’t know how.
