The first reason is- well, I'm a grad student and occasionally I get a burst of motivation to actually work on my graduate research. It doesn't happen all the time. So when it does, I feel obligated to take advantage of it and make some progress while the motivation lasts.
The second reason I may not post everyday, is that while working on starting this blog, I found some advice from another blogger at Mermaidcloset.blogspot.com. Her advice was, 'don't write when you're not in the mood'. That's rarely an issue for me, as I typically organize my thoughts better with a pen and paper. However, not everything I think needs to- or should-be shared in this blog.
My goal is to keep this blog as constructive and positive as possible. If you can't tell, I'm a 'glass half full' type of person. Yes, this blog is something of a life journal, and I'm aware that life is not always a pitcher of sunshine. I'm not denying or disputing that. There are days when my glass gets low too. While I look forward to sharing several aspects of my journey with you, I tend to operate under the theory that the best stories are told over drinks (my preference is tea). Point being- I'm not going to use this blog as a place to vent. If my glass is on the empty side, I'll probably wait for it to be half-full again before relaying the story. It gives me time to reflect on the situation and just seems more constructive.
Besides, you can propose more toasts with a full glass than an empty one!
Cheers!
