My current strategy is failing. Miserably. Nothing gets uploaded in a timely manner, not because of the writing, that is actually the easy part (hence the train-of-thought nature, significant grammatical mistakes and limited vocabulary). I tend to write each post on my ipod or in my notebook – on bus rides, when waiting for shuttle buses to arrive, the odd quiet minute at hostels – and then write them up on the chromebook whenever I have more than a minute of chill-out time at hostels (it used to be over breakfast but here in Antigua that is not a privilege that comes with most affordable hostels). The main problem I’m having, though, is the time it takes to get photos uploaded. First they need to be added to google plus and from there I can download them to my google drive. WordPress then lets me add photos to the blog’s gallery from the ones that are available on google drive. It’s not a complicated process, just time-consuming. And because I feel like I have spent the past 2 years in London just getting on with life but not actually living it (at least not for consistent periods of time), doing that means more to me than ensuring this blog gets updated in a timely manner.

So, my new strategy is this: I’m going to continue writing as I do, that just makes the most sense. Then, when I have the time, internet availability, and images downloaded, I’ll upload the post but back-date it to when I actually wrote it. So it won’t necessarily tell anyone, accurately, where I am at the moment a new post goes live. But it will make chronological sense for me when, in 8 months, I’m going to wonder how long I spent in certain places and what I saw and how I felt at that particular moment in time. Even if for no one else, that sounds like a winning strategy to me!
