The hardest part about having a blog is maintaining it. I get so caught up on what to write about, that I get writer’s block. Sometimes I forget that I started this blog to practice my writing. Now, before I write something, I think to myself “no one is going to read this” or “no one cares what you think”. The funny thing is, no one does read this. I started this for myself, not to create a fan base. Yet here I am wresting with this concept of readership.
Doing social media for work blurs the lines between the personal and the professional. Writing just for myself seems odd when I normally write for the viewing pleasure and criticism of 10,000 followers.
So what’s the solution? Write about my writers block in the hopes of shedding this dichotomy. Oh yeah, a little bit of rambling sprinkled with a little bit venting also helps.
A bit of old writerly advice: write as though everyone you know is dead. :)
