Inigo DeLeon "The cure for writer's cramp is writer's block."
To Blog......or Not To Blog, that is the question.
There are a million ideas I have that I'd like to write about, so it's not for lack of subjects that I have abandoned my blog to the mundane. Quite simply, I am wondering about whether my blog has any viable purpose for me right now. When I delve into things more deeply, I enjoy it, but it also makes me a little obsessive. I check to see if anyone has commented. I think about what I wrote and wish I had said it better. I ponder things while driving around and doing errands. All this over my little square of cyberspace.
Commenting on other blogs does the same thing. I check back to see if anyone has replied,then reply to their reply. Back and forth it goes and all of a sudden I've "wasted" a good chunk of time.
I don't always see it as a waste. I've had a number of good conversations. The question is, in the long run, is blogging beneficial to me as a person, and to the few brave souls who weather through my mundane posts with me?
Who knows?
So...I might blog more. I might not. I might revamp my blog or start a completely new one that has more focus. I might wake up one day and delete the whole thing. Probably not, there are too many anecdotes and pics of my kids for me to jettison them into the nether regions.
Either way I'm in the process of figuring it out.

I feel the same way most of the time. I have so many post ideas either in my head or outlined here and there, but many of them never seem to get completed. You're definitely not the only one!
thanks.
Sometimes I think the whole thing is nothing more than navel-gazing.
I'll probably snap out of my blah eventually.
