I’m not too sure if other bloggers encounter this dilemma but I go through this week after week. Granted some bloggers write every two weeks, once a month or every couple of months while other write on a daily basis. For me, I try to blog about something at least once a week; guess it’s the writer in me that needs to do this on a consistent basis. I’m sure that all of us go through this, just trying to figure out what to blog or what not to blog about.
Some people specifically have an area of expertise or subject matter that can yield tons and tons of topics to cover, I unfortunately am not the case. After a year of blogging, you’d think I’d have a host of things to talk about but that’s not the case.
I think for me the main struggle is in figuring out what to say or what not say. A couple of instances, I got an idea and soon realized that I blogged about it in a previous post. Other times when the well ran dry and I ended up grasping for straws on a topic; it felt like I put in half the effort on something that should’ve required 110%. I never realized the dilemma I’m in week after week; it’s harder that working on a screenplay.
Okay, it’s not the worst place to be in but I always like to try and blog about something that’s interesting. I’ve perused other sites and I’ve noticed that they’ve constantly posted stuff that’s cool and mind-blowing. How do they do that?! Do they even have that problem of deciding what to write about?! Now if I could only do the same, guess not all of us are gifted in that aspect.
If I could only get into their mindset when they’re preparing to blog then maybe I could get a perspective on how I could go about doing my blog. Life would be much simpler. BUT, that’s not the case for me. Nothing ever comes easy and I accept that.
Maybe what to blog or what not to blog is not the question I should be asking myself, instead it should be “Do I enjoy blogging?” or “Is it worth my time?” As you can see from this post, it’s an emphatic – YES!
