			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey folks &#8212; so did you miss me&#8230;?</p>
<p>Nope?</p>
<p>Well, never mind, I forgive you <img src='http://rationaldreaming.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>One thing I found out last year when I was trying to blog about something new every day, is that it is extremely hard to do. I doff my hat to those who can do it, and have done it for years. It&#8217;s not as though I have nothing to talk about either. I have plenty of ideas for what to write about, but (for me) it&#8217;s a lot of work to convert the random thoughts swirling around in my head into coherent prose that people might be interested in reading.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, of course, I have an issue with brevity&#8211;or rather, the lack of it. The secret of most bloggers who post several times a day is that the majority of their posts are typically just a couple of sentences long. I find that hard to do.</p>
<p>Hmm&#8230; Perhaps I should practice more on Twitter&#8230;</p>
<p>Anyway, we&#8217;ll see how things go this time. I have visitors coming to stay in a couple of days, so my postings might be a little bit random over the next couple of weeks, but looking back at the stats,&nbsp; I am encouraged by the bump in viewership of the blog when I was posting regularly (even after a relatively short time) and I would like to see what happens if I can succeed with a more sustained effort.</p>
<p>Oh, and I&#8217;m thinking of changing the name of the blog. I&#8217;ve never been particularly fond of the name Rational Dreaming. It sounds like something akin to lucid dreaming, or some kind of woo-like remote viewing, but it&#8217;s tough to think of a great name for a blog <em>and</em> be lucky enough that nobody is sitting on the domain name on the off-chance that they might actually get round to using it some day. Anyway, I finally found one I like, though since I haven&#8217;t bought the domain yet, I will refrain from announcing it just yet. I&#8217;ve just paid for another year of rationaldreaming.com, so there isn&#8217;t any particular hurry.</p>
