Of writing, eggs and baskets and all that good stuff...

So... a few days ago, I managed to transfer all my content from (now defunct) Zujava to my two HubPages accounts.

I am glad that I managed to get it done... on the other hand, it was a reminder of just how much work it is to "do things properly," as well as a (sortof) reminder of why most people do not do things "properly:" It is just too damn much work.

I am never going to be a particularly prolific writer because of this particular aspect of my personality. I found myself in a discussion on a writers' forum a while back, and soon realized that my "process" for writing any given article seems 100x more laborious than any of my peers'.

Perfectionistic tendencies are a bitch...

In any case, the shutdown of Zujava and having to my my content to HubPages brought me face to face with the reality that I now have all my writing "eggs" in one basket-- at least as far as "revenue sharing" sites go. Although Bubblews has recently been revamped and "re-launched," I am not sure whether the site can effectively be counted as "revenue sharing" at this point.

Meanwhile, the rest of my "writing eggs" are in my personal web sites, which need some work since they bear more and more "weight" as a material part of my writing.

Meanwhile, it is summer which has always been a somewhat "slow" time for me, as a writer... but I am hoping to take some of the ideas from our Denmark trip and turn them into "something."
