This blogging thing isn't quite as easy as I expected. It's been six months since my last post, and I can give you a million reasons why.
1. Work
2. Kids
3. Travel
4. Eh, did I say a million?
Okay, while being busy certainly hasn't helped things, the real truth of the matter is that writing is hard. What should I write about? Does it have to be poignant and insightful? Can it just be a blurb about the movie I watched last night? How often should I post? Won't I bore people to death if I just write about my kids and their baseball games from this past weekend? (For those of you scoring at home, the answers are: Anything; No, but it doesn't hurt; Sure; More often than every 6 months would be good; and yes, but no one is reading this anyway).
As you might be able to tell, I tend to over-think things sometimes. My first pass at blogging is certainly Exhibit A.
Tonight I'm restarting my efforts. I'm going to keep my expectations low, but I'm committing to at least one post per week. Walk before you run, right?
How about those of you who are hard-core bloggers? Did you have problems getting started? Do you still have those problems from time to time? How did you find your blogging voice?
