For over a decade, librarian bloggers in Australia have been re-firing up their sleeping blogs in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, as described by Con in 2010, Blogging, thankfully <\/a>, it was a way to get people who were writing semi-regularly to write more frequently. Everyone aimed to blog every day of June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The month became a flurry of writing, reading and mutual commenting. Around five years before that, 15 years ago, this type of reflection and co-learning was the crucible that accelerated many of us to become better and more thoughtful practitioners, fast. For a couple of years, many posted at least weekly, read each other\u2019s posts via our RSS readers daily, and commented on each others\u2019 ideas – accelerating their development, thanking the author for their sharing and encouraging them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a decade, library blogging slipped from infrequent, to marginal, to artisan.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the practice of blogging feels far more performative than discursive. A bit like standing solo in the spotlight, with expectation that a polished, coherent well-scripted recital will be offered\u2026 rather than just a spot to shoot the breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I am going to do #blogjune this year, then I am going to try to just shoot the breeze.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to post here again for a bit, but to get back to something more tentative and conversational. Almost every single aspect of my life has changed in the last 6 months, including the most amazing morning walk in the pic above, so I should have things to share – even if it is just documenting change and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
