York on Yorkread

No Time for a Title!

April 2, 2008

I post to yorkrules every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, excluding holidays and pre-announced vacation days. I posted five days a week until I realized that working so much to make no money was too stressful, so I got a job and dropped Tuesdays and Thursdays from the schedule.

Now the job is done, but I’ve continued with the triweekly rotation. The self-imposed stress is less, and I think the content’s stronger.

In addition to strong content, the blogs on blogging say that posting frequently and consistently is important to building your audience and generating income. I will let you know as soon as I am able to illicit some increase in either of these equally important items.

On my off-days I continue to comb for content: interviewing artists and musicians, editing Haiku movies, creating Photoshop compositions, and writing (which consists mostly of unawaredly wringing my hands while thinking of everything else I could be doing right now, and perhaps writing a little, if it’s a good day.)

On good days, posts appear at 10:00 a.m. This is the hour that I set pre-prepared posts to self-publish. I once got an entire month ahead of the relentless clock, but if I can claim to be even one post in the black most days, I am grateful for it.

If a post appears shortly after eight o’clock on a Wednesday evening, however, you can be assured that there’s plenty of handwringing and internal obfuscation occurring within the yorkrules admin.

Why I find myself in this position, this late in the day, I am unsure. Crossed-out below blog in my calendar is catbox. It was not a busy day. There was — oh, right — the unplanned afternoon nap on the couch, the sun slanting through the blinds across Haiku, asleep on my chest.

So today’s delay is mostly my fault. But I want to make it up to you. As a visual artist, any post without a picture feels incomplete to me. How could I add an image that’s easy for me and entertaining for you? A quick scan of my high school graduation meets both needs.

York's 1992 high school graduation portrait.

Thanks for your visit. It keeps me creative (though not yet rich.)

    I don’t remember you having this particular hairstyle. Perhaps my memory is fading.
