Blogging is Overrated


Blogging is over-rated. Well maybe not for everyone. It's like most hobbies... you find you have a knack for it and really go "whole-hog" into pursuing it. Sometimes at the expense of other things like brushing your hair or watering the plants. But all hobbies succomb to a semi-final resting place. I suppose they go through a saturated phase where you love it so much you're up to your earwax in it but just can't seem to bear the thought of typing one more word.

There are many parts to the blogging-hobby-experience. To go into each part would most likely be boring. But regardless of the facinating parts to blogging, it can not escape the inevitable writers-block. Where nothing seems to inspire you to write. Not even the list of bookmarked favorites on your Internet Explorer marked "Awesome Blog Material".

The minutes wasted finding such websites to spark literary genius have failed you. The Scottish Bands website, the site about Peter and the Wolf, the site listed "random facts, stupid laws, strange stories, amazing facts, random facts" (the random facts must be the big seller), HowStuffWorks.com website, Double D Ranchwear, Brooklyn Bridge Story, the Yate and CHipping Sodbury ....all of it does nothing to get you over that hump.

And your blog is dying, suffocating, a few kind hearted faithfuls keep coming back to see if there's anything new and brilliant- when all there is is another group photo and a Quiz. Too easy. Too boring. There needs to be life BREATHED back into this thing!!
