Blogging

The most difficult thing about a blog is doing it.
Ask any blogger. "I can't think of anything to say".
It's true. Especially if you live a boring life.
I have a friend who's very busy. She's writing a novel. She does good works and volunteers in her community. She looks after her mother. In fact, she just cleaned out her Mom's old apartment, sold it, and moved her Mom into a new apartment! She looks after a big yard and house. She's famous for her cooking. She paints. She's a dynamo.
She blogs. Quickly. Give this girl one word, and she can write a complete essay in 20 minutes.
But for the rest of us - "let's see - what has excited me about life recently." We go from there.
If you read "How To"s about blogging they encourage us to do it. Just do it. Do it often. Don't angst about it. Sit down and write a sentence. Then another one. Then another one. Don't fool around with it a lot. Click "Publish" and then repeat the next day.
If it's a bit rugged, no matter, it's a learning process.
Those of us who love to write use it in lots of different ways. It can be a good "listener". Something on your mind? Something bothering you - nagging at you? Write it down. Pretend you're talking to a friend. Pour out your soul. You'd be surprised at how it cleans out the corners of your mind.
I get a daily Almanac about writers. What they wrote. How they wrote it. When they got it published and what happened after. I start every day with this Almanac. It has given me a great respect for people who write.
