Why I Struggle Blogging
It has been more than a week since my last entry. When it comes to blogging – I keep getting started with a big flurry of activity – I write a whole weeks worth of entries – then the activity level drops off – I don’t write anything for a few weeks – people mention it – I feel guilty about it – I eventually quit. I have fallen prey to this pattern a number of times when it comes to blogging. Maybe I need some kind of recovery group for this – “bloggers anonymous”. Today I am wondering why that is the case. Is it because I don’t have anything to say or I can’t think about anything to write about? Most people know me better than that. I have lots of ideas in my mind that I love to share with others and I do it all the time. Is it because it hasn’t turned into a habit yet and I need to make it one. That might be part of the issue. If you do something every day for forty days it will turn into a habit I am told so maybe I need to just get real disciplined and find an accountability partner to help me turn it into a habit. But is that all there is. I was thinking today that maybe it is because I wonder if blogging is a bit narcisistic. What do I have to say that is worth putting in print that people would actually want to or like to read? I honestly wrestle with that. Our society is so focused on themselves and I am part of that culture and I wonder if blogging is just adding fuel to that “me focused” fire. I am not sure. I don’t Twitter yet so I have no “tweets” for others to read. I seldom fill in the status line on my facebook page. I wonder if people really care what I am doing at this moment. Is it worth putting in print? I’m not sure. Or maybe all of this is just an excuse so that I don’t have to admit that I am not as disciplined as I would like to be. I will keeping pondering all of this. Until I come to a conclusion I will do my best to share my thoughts with whoever is willing to read them in “blogland”. I will do my best to have an entry tomorrow.
