Resolutions - Not because of the New Year, just because
Resolutions. Things to change. Do better. Do more of. Do less of. Quit. Start. Stop. Begin.
Numero uno for me. Be a better blogger. I have been bad. I haven't written in far too long. Today I ask myself why? Do I have nothing to say? Do I not enjoy writing?
As I reviewed the 7 blog post drafts that I have saved it is clear that neither of these is the problem. The problem is that I approach blogging as I would approach writing a major report. I want to put together a clear, researched, well thought out post that combines multiple angles and is probably to long and boring for anyone to want to read.
And there is the fear. Will I sound stupid? What if I say something wrong? Am I boring???
The more I read blogs, the more I realize that it isn't about perfection - it's about average people, with average writing skills writing about things that interest them. And THAT is my resolution.
Blogging is by no means a perfect art, if it was, we'd all have editors. So have at it. Twitter only goes so far :)
