2-168 Hurry up!
Every is in a hurry these days!
Those who write, stay
It is a fast paced world. Not only does everybody seem to want everything, but they also want it fast! take for example e-mail/ texting vs normal mail, going shopping vs. shopping online but also social media… everything needs to be published and fast! Because if you don’t publish, you might lose followers, or won’t attract new ones.
Publishing on this site is the same; those who write, stay. No new content, no new visitors. This is a trap to me. I have to be careful not to overdo it. Mind you, I have a full time day-job, a new-born kid and a family/ social life. I’ve also been creating and publishing 2 comic episodes, 1-2 toy-photos and a blogpost per week, besides trying to keep the social media up-to date. It’s all in good fun of course, but sometimes I will have to take the frequency of creation and publishing down a nudge, lest I don’t get into trouble time-wise.
Yet, that time is not now… but may arrive someday 🙂
Do you have any hobbies you (honestly) put too much time in?

What I found fascinating, is that you seem pretty aware of the “trap” of followers. Yet I’m not sure I have half the idea how much energy you put in it!
Is starting to ask yourself this kind of question is a sign of thinking you’re crazy or it’s a statement for the shape of things to come? It’s not a question about where this site is going, it’s just… How do you feel about the day this will come to an end. Cause ultimately it will.
My point, my question, is : Is it more important what you post here, or what you learned/improved at by doing all this? What does it brings to yourself?
About hobbies… I’m usually all in when I like something I do. I’m kind of a all or nothing guy. Right now I love playing baseball. I also watch a lot. I’d say that waking up at 4:00am every Saturday and Sunday and watch 3 games of 3 hours during week ends 6 months a year can be called spending too much time LOL
I recognise the all or nothing aspect of some hobbies. I can be the same from time to time.
That said, after the restart of the site i am putting a lot of time and effort in it, knowing that everything will end someday, just like BOTD sadly. But that day is not in sight yet for Foolish Bricks.
Anyway, what I learn is the most important to me! Interesting that you mention it because I was recently pondering what it is that I like about this hobby…. and what I dislike. I will write a blogpost on that aspect within a few weeks.
