They do not buy into the tyranny of th eurgent, instead keep going slow and steady. Marguerite, I agree the great ones seem to be able to pace themselves.

I do not foresee it stopping any time soon. The medium may vary, I may one day decide to migrate to another blog, or another format altogether, but I will always need to share ideas and engage in conversations with others around creative matters. Your post brings up the issue of burnout versus sustainability. I visit Twitter quite often, and cannot believe the pace of some of the people there. Manic habits are not sustainable in the long run. Same applies to blogging. Also, it is hard to come up with meaningful content 24/7. The brain and the heart need some resting time to conjure up content that is of any worth.

Really though, I love what you did with this and the insight into what drives you to crank out so much great content every week. Consistency does matter (from someone that has been anything but consistent lately I can tell you). Remind me to write about my ideas more quickly after talking with you (lol).

Business supersedes individuals, principles matter more than personalities. That's what it means to be in something larger. If you run a business, I think your feelings may change on this matter. But if you look at it from the employee standpoint, your reaction is normal. Liz: I used to run several publications with reporters, and while people are people, the process must go on.

People are not what they do or what can do for you, they are who they are and thinking that writers are just interchangeable with each other indicates a very utilitarian view of the art of communication. This is not touchy-feely stuff this is recognizing the humanity and gifts of people whether they are writing for a personal or business blogs. What is that old saying? No one ever complains at the end of their life that they didn't spend enough time at work. I think when you start thinking of people as “cogs” and not individuals, you lose a little bit of your soul.

I often feel as if today is the day I shut my blog down. And then I read, hear or see something or am asked a business-related question that gets my juices flowing. There is a never-ending supply of topics to discuss and share. Geoff,

So true. I often feel as if today is the day I shut my blog down. And then I read, hear or see something or am asked a business-related question that gets my juices flowing. There is a never-ending supply of topics to discuss and share.
