Excuses, Excuses

I've been sick. I've been busy. I've been tired. That's why I forgot to write on my blog yesterday.

While I've been fighting off the last of the congestion left over from my cold, I've spent the last day and a half stumbling around a conference in heels listening to hotel executives and finance gurus talk about the sad state of the hospitality industry and meeting with lawyers, investors, managers and even a software developer to further discuss the hotel market disarray. As a result, I'm exhausted.

I'm actually looking back to going back to the office tomorrow so I can turn in the stories that are due and finish sorting through the e-mail that's been piling up in my inbox ... and let the blisters on my feet heal before another conference scheduled at the same hotel on Friday.

Even though I have some pretty good reasons for slacking off when it comes to the work due in this space every day, there's really no excuse for not writing here daily as I promised myself I would when I started this blog.

Half the battle really is showing up every day, whether I have anything terribly interesting to say or not, and trying to come up with something to fill this space. The other half of the battle, of course, is writing something compelling that gives people a reason to come back and check in with me from time to time. I'm working on that.

So, excuse me if I flake out every now and then and forget to drop by with some new words. I'm going to stick with this venture and see where it takes me, even if it doesn't lead me anywhere new for a long time.
