Blogging torpor?

I try to blog every day, as you can probably tell. I rarely miss a day of blogging. It is an objective I set myself a long time ago, when I started this blog back in 2008 when I was unemployed: I would keep it active every day. Its officious motto is "Nulla dies sine linea" (No day without a line).This is a line attributed to Apelles, which I had already mentioned in 2011. I do this because blogging for me is a creative exercise and I want my brain to remain creative. That said, recently, it has become more difficult to stay inspired. It is not time I lack, although I have little of it being a father. It is energy and inspiration. I am fatigued and so is Vraie Fiction. So I am wondering if I should not go slower and take breaks a day or two. Although for some reason I find this option depressing.

Nulla dies sine linea

"Nulla dies sine linea" (No day without a line). This is a line attributed to Apelles. I first read it on a bookmark that I got from Les Bouquinistes, the bookshop in Chicoutimi (and for a long time my favourite bookshop). I loved it. It should be understood as an injunction to get something done during the day. But I think it works perfectly for a reader or any kind of writer. Including a blogger. I try to read a page or two of a real book, I also try to blog at least twice a day, one French post and one English post.

It was easier when I was unemployed, obviously I had more time. But quality was not always there. I look at my posts in 2008 and I think they were redundant or utterly uninspired. Still, when I have less time, I think it matters that I produce something and at least do some writing, exercise my brain a bit. Sure, it's not like I am writing Ulysses, but still. It matters that I muse a bit every day, that I exercise some kind of creativity, some writing discipline too, that I get read as well. So this could be the motto of this blog.
