Notes from Limmud and elsewhere

[lethargic_man]

Well, it's nearly Limmud again, and I've still got a whole pile of notes to type up from last year's Limmud, and the Marom Beit Midrash, and the last two or three rounds of the New North London Learning programme. Before I launch myself into another frenzy of note-taking, can I do a quick straw poll: how many of you read and appreciate these notes I post?

Whilst some of them generated lively discussions, fully half of the fifteen sets of notes I've posted, received either no comment at all (four), or only a single comment by a single person (four), of which three only an "interesting" from snjstar, who is offline at present so no longer doing so.

Some people gets lots of "cool!"s in response to their blog postings; perhaps because I don't have such a large flist, I don't, and I'd like to feel the effort was appreciated. :-S

This is a complicated problem. In a sense writing up your Jewish learning notes is taking time away from writing fiction, but by your own admission you probably wouldn't be using the time to write fiction anyway. I really don't know what to do about finding the motivation to write, especially if you're unhappy about not writing.

But for the time being, set that aside: is writing up notes taking time away from other things you would rather be doing? If so, stop doing it! If it's not, you might as well continue, and since it's not an obligation, if it comes to the point where you no longer have time, whether because you start writing again, or because your social life expands, or whatever, then just stop at that point.
