Is there a type of person who just does not have the personality to blog? I question that because I want to blog at least once a day. I love the idea of blogs. I have written in journals for years and I would rather go write in a journal than login, start typing, spell check, add pics if needed, add links if needed, then publish. How simple is that? But I feel it's like a chore. So does that mean I'm unblogible? Is that a word?
I thought of sharing my journals. Do I want to go that personal? What do I want to use my blog for? What do I want to communicate? It's a constant struggle. I know that there are blog challenges out there that you can participate in but I notice that those who participate struggle with what to post with. Even when I went live again with this blog, I blogged the things that I wanted to blog about but most of the time, I don't want to blog about those things.
Sure I like taking photos. So which one to post? Sure I would like to talk about my family but I know that I have to keep it light and not too personal for the fear and wrath of my family. Some bloggers can do that but I can't. I know my family. My family does not understand the concepts of blogging, twitting, facebooking, and/or myspacing, et al. TOO much personal information out there they say. I have been job searching for over a year but I don't want to talk about that for well I want to get a job hence why I have not relinked this blog to my website.
For me it does not make sense. I'm a graphic designer, I like all things web. I like scrapbooking and having a blog is somewhat like that. I have written for other blogs. So what makes blogging on my own different?
Am I too busy to blog? No, because I took the time to blog about how I don't blog. . .
I guess what I'm asking is, can blogging be for everyone? Tell me what gets you motivated to blog at least once a day or even once a week? Do you need to have a niche or main interest to have a blog because I like and don't like a lot of things. What do you blog about? What will you not blog about? Suggestions welcomed.
