I think that is why I started my blog; a way to express what is going on in my head. I too am introverted as someone previously mentioned and I guess I write instead of blab on the phone to my friends. I think my biggest hang up is over thinking what to write about. I think of a topic then wonder if anyone would want to read about it. Maybe, maybe not. Is it too personal? Do I want to go into all the back story? Could I make it entertaining enough without giving away too much information? Sometimes I talk myself out of writing something that probably would have been a good post. Then by the time I decide I really should have written about it the moment has passed and I have missed the opportunity. I love writing.

It's nice if others enjoy what I write but not essential. It's fun trying to make sense of all the mess around one - especially the mess you yourself make. Blogging means I read a lot.Just to get ideas to spin off. That's real fun because you start with one idea and it morphs into something completely different. I keep my posts short: it's the way I write and I never have too much to say about anything! I try to write short sentences in short paragraphs. That's so important. There is nothing more disheartening than being confronted by a wall of type. You know there's a gem hidden in there somewhere but I ain't going to ruin my eyes trying to find it. And humour, it makes so much so much nicer!! I like blogging. It’s nice if others enjoy what I write but not essential.

You're right unless you plan to be a hermit blogger than the big BIG world of blogging does not apply to you. I think not matter how good your blog is, if you don't interact with others in the community, you won't succeed.

When I first started blogging, I wanted to read, enroll, know everything before I could do anything on the web. And once I knew something, I didn't want to put it up until it was perfect. In the meantime, lots of other people were making money with their imperfect sites by following the Nike slogan - Just Do It! Thanks for your post, it was a reminder that I needed today.

Instead of focusing on writing content for my blog, I often end up surfing other sites and watching videos online, so my pending blog posts just pile up. I'm just blogging for pleasure though but I recently started a project to monetize this hobby so thanks for this wonderful article -- just exactly what I need right now.

I stole this quote from you and put in on my facebook wall - "Laziness is seductive: it lures you in with the promise of instant gratification. What laziness won’t tell you is that the high is short-lived and what follows is a state of despair and disappointment." Laziness is very seductive and we can strengthen ourselves from this temptation by reminding ourselves of the worthiness of what we're doing. Thank you for this very inspirational post.
