It’s been about ten years since I last read a dictionary cover to cover. That’s part of the reason I launched Today, I Read….

Though I’ve been faithfully making my way through the current texts (Bird by Bird and Memoirs of a Geisha), I haven’t been diligent in my updates.

Why? Because reading the dictionary is hard work. In all seriousness, while doing my vocabulary assignment for each day, I find myself distracted by other words that make me go, “hey, there’s a word I should use more often in everyday speech.”

As a result, the typical vocabulary assignment that should only take about 30 minutes, suddenly requires at least two hours.

I need to start thinking of a remedy for the situation.

Possibly, scale back on the vocabulary assignments. I really don’t want to go that route. I love the vocab.

I’ll most likely end up sitting down at the end of the week and posting everything that’s accumulated, thus, inundating my readers with large amounts of content to digest at one time.

I probably won’t go that route either.

That’s the beauty of blogging, you can test and tweak and play until you find that perfect rhythm and balance.

Enough thinking out loud, time for me to get back to work.
