On 1 January 1829 Sir Walter Scott wrote these words in his diary, foreshadowing exactly the anxieties of the 21st century blogger :
Having omitted to carry on my diary for two or three days, I lost heart to make it up, and left it unfilld for many a month and day. During this period nothing has happend worth particular notice.The same occupations, the same amusements, the same occasional alterations of spirits, gay or depressd, the same absence of all sensible or rational cause for the one or the other – I half grieve to take up my pen, and doubt if it is worth while to record such an infinite quantity of nothing. But hang it! I hate to be beat so here goes for better behaviour.
Here’s to a better behaved 2013!
That's How The Light Gets In
