My last post was towards the end of June. That means its been 2 months that I've not updated my blog. Well I did find two unfinished articles in July that I started on. Can almost hear someone referring to my sermon on procrastination or that sermon about not finishing what you start. I 'hate' it when they use my preaching against me.
The last post also means that its been 1 year that I've been blogging. Hong Teck initiated the idea and he helped me get started. Thanks buddy. On average I may have managed 3 posts per month. That probably means almost 40 articles so far.
Do I attribute my non-writing over these two months to increasing workload? Is it due to the fact that it is hard to churn out good articles week after week? The most likely diagnosis is writer fatigue.
Here's what I mean. Cara, my colleague just commented last week on the sheer number of forewords I need to write. And that's just the forewords. You don't want to know about the other things.
Do let me recover from this bout of writer fatigue. This lull will allow me some time to ponder the focus of my blog. Do I write about my adventures or do I post articles? Till then...

Hey Ps Ben! Just want to encourage you - don't worry - no matter what you write - I always enjoy reading your posts - whether it's adventures or articles. Very refreshing. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder... =) Haha...
Bless!
YA
hmm... pastor, I can sort of relate with you, regarding this writer fatigue thing. I believe all who write blogs will experience this at some point in time.

hi Pst Ben,
just like walking, diff people has diff styles, some stride, some stroll, some run, some just speed... if you're a reflective person, you will reflect no matter where you are and what happens, if you're an action-packed person perhaps that's where your inspiration comes from. So go on out, enjoy who U are, even when it comes to ... writing. :) but then again, everyone needs to rest... ZzzZZZzzz even writers...
Hello from a fellow pastor.
I enjoy your blog. Keep up the good work.
Blessings,
PV
Hey Ps Ben, don't worry about what to write, cos u have a bunch of faithful followers! Thanks for giving your life and it's my honour and privilege to celebrate our Church and you. Kudos to you for leading the church to where we are today! God bless!
Hi Pastor! :)thanks dor your life encouragements
Ps, draw an analogy here.. Blogging too is machiam like our spirittual life mah.. There are ups and downs.. A sugestion from me would be to post articles when u r having ur lull periods.. and to post ur adventures or happenings when u have the ideals.. haha.. juz my 2cents worth
Pastor Ben, Very happy to accidentally find your blog. Writting a blog is not about "must write" or "pressure to write". You and other pastors in the church always deliver incredibly touching sermon, which sometimes, i will post in my friendster blog so i can share it with my friends. Besides that i just write whatever i have exprienced in my life: either bad or good, it is like writting a diary :). It doesn't matter what other people will say on it.
Hi Ps.Ben,
Just take it easy. Blogging is actually fun.. :)
