O is for a Mid-Point Update

I'm doing the A-to-Z Blog Challenge.

Today is for O, and O is for onerous.

Onerous - an adjective  

(of a task, duty, or responsibility) involving an amount of effort and difficulty that is oppressively burdensome.

I once blogged five days a week and found it therapeutic. But as soon as the ideas dried up and my attention moved to different tasks, my interest in blogging waned and I only did it once or twice a week.

For awhile, I stopped blogging altogether.

I picked up again about a year ago and, before the blog challenge, I tried to make sure I wrote at least one post a week.

But now...

Now....

Now, I'm 18 days into this 30-day blog challenge, and onerous is the word I'd use to describe how I feel about it.

Some letters are easy to match a topic to. Others, not so much.

I had a great post planned for the letter "P," and I was all excited about writing it.

Then I realized O came first.

And today's blog post feels especially onerous.

Tomorrow will be better. I Promise.
