Fighting Inertia

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion (this includes changes to its speed, direction or state of rest). It is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity. 

"Inertia." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, n.d. Web. 10 May 2016.

Just as inertia can be observed in physical object, so too can it apply to virtual ones, such as a blog. A blog without posts tends to remain without posts because the author has allowed so much time to slip by that now she's rather embarrassed with herself and is somewhat avoiding her blog. 

Yeah, so I haven't posted in a while. And now I am. I'm going to stop resisting this blog's state of motion, so matter how small or inconsequential the post!

Bonus: check out this great YouTuber (Flipping Physics) who actually helped me understand my inertia metaphor:

P. S. Is it any coincidence that my resistance to blognertia ended the same day #GoogleEI applications were due? Not hardly! #fingerscrossed #pleasepickme
