Everything you said about blogging and bad time management is exactly the same curse I have... might even be worse. Also, sleep? What's that?
Love your sketches though! That is something that can be your unique signature in any given blog post.
I can't do journaling or post daily - I never been a reader of that sort of content, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to know my daily musings (except for Snaps). So I resort to making the types of posts that take me days to compose and refine... and I keep editing them even well after the post has expired lol. (if I find a mistake).

I'm sorry that you have the same predicaments! x_x lol XD
Hehe thanks! ^_^ I call that style of sketches "shenanigans" as they're usually grossly exaggerating things that happen for comedic purposes and they (usually) take me 2-5min each (sometimes up to 10min if I actually colour it rather than just using different coloured lines which is normally how I would show colour). They kind of only work in certain situations though ^_^;
I do find the sneak peeks into someone else's normal daily existence interesting purely for that but not something I read (or write) regularly either. I do journalling but offline (working between an Obsidian vault and a sketchbook, I will share the sketchbook sometimes but don't really feel a need for other people's input when journalling) and daily posting is usually something I'm advising people against unless they're enjoying the actual process of writing/sketching daily. My direct observation of a statistically insignificant sample size that were mostly trying to produce "good" drawings/sketches/full blown artwork O_O and/or somewhat polished articles a bit too regularly was that they just burned out.
LoL! I had to set a rule in stone for myself with art (IF IT'S POSTED IT'S DONE DON'T TOUCH IT JUST KEEP THE MILLION MISTAKES IN MIND FOR NEXT TIME) otherwise I would do the exact same thing XD It became a pretty good hack for "finishing" pieces which would otherwise never be finished (because I will always find something that needs fixing).
sorry for taking a while to respond.
there are 2-3 panel comic books that I read, they are some funny situations that usually revolve around misunderstandings that are hilarious. I can def see you do stuff like that... I have ideas like this too, (since I also draw)
The post editing... I don't think I can stop. I am really bad with this. I second guess my words, think of how well a line lands, reread it over and over. I can come up with rules, but I'm also going to break them.
If I can I will make 2 - 3 posts per week, that is my max.
I have a vault of ideas and I get to them one at a time at a pace that allows me to not run out of them 😁
Were toy making blogs before being on Hive?
All good I'm from the forum era, I only ever want quick responses when something is time sensitive ;D Plus I'm just as bad.
LoL that is a familiar feeling XD but do remember at the end of the day it doesn't matter how perfectly formatted and structured your sentences are, people are going to deliberately misinterpret them to fit whatever narrative they've got going on (while also being dead certain they got it correct because we're very smart after all XD).
Yep I've been blogging for a while, the earliest entry in my blog is from late 2004 but I'm pretty sure I'd been blogging for slightly longer than that, however it's entirely possible that I didn't migrate over all the entries from my original LiveJournal as it was probably just "status updates" for friends which would make not much sense without context (and I also know I got lazy after a point as I manually migtrated everything and didn't check properly for things I might want to keep).
