schmaltz:

exaggerated sentimentalism.

Ex: It was schmaltzy of me to set my sights on five new blog posts a week.



...the thing is...between school, and work, and the ESG, and the little time I have for my personal life, I can't promise five quality posts per week.

It makes me sad, but it's just not realistic.

The decision really came to me last week after the post I made about the dog food commercial.

Even as I was writing it, I was thinking, "Is this really the kind of work I want to publish online for the world to see?"

It isn't, so I am done with that kind of writing. I promise.

Yes, one of the key reasons for this blog to write for and about myself, (I can't lie, haha) but a much bigger reason is to have an online body of my work that can be easily accessed by anyone.

But if I am going to be sending an Oh, Sweet Sunday link to anyone such as a potential employer, I think I have a little sprucing up to do around here first...

So from here on out, my goal of five posts per week is no more.

My new goal is to have at least three posts a week, and for me to not publish anything with which I am not happy.

It's still a tall order, but I feel like I will have a better, more expressive blog this way, so I say let's do it.

By "let's" I , of course, mean "I'll"...
