Making Blogging Hard

 I am "Making Blogging Hard" but that doesn’t surprise me, I do that with most things in my life, my expectations are greater than my ability. Does that mean I should quit? That’s always my answer because that doesn’t take any ability or effort but you can’t quit life, that’s up to God. And evidently He has other things for me to accomplish in this life or I wouldn’t be here. Doesn’t that sound ridiculous to write such obvious statements?

 That’s my point, I can’t seem to find my voice in writing, I read other people’s Blog and try to imagine where do they come up with what they write about? What’s holding me back from being able to write? Is it my lack of education? Is it that I don’t want to share my thoughts? Why can’t I express myself in writing? I seem to be able to whine about it just fine.

 That could be it? This is my voice and I don’t like it, so what do I do about it? I have to change the way that I think, and I have been working on that but I haven’t made much progress. They say that practice makes perfect, so that’s what I am going to do "Practice."

 I read this article today; buhbuhbuhbuhbuhbad and I left this comment;

Hi Catherine,

You’re not a bad Blogger, I think you’re being too hard on yourself and I think if you looked at your statistics page you would see that you have more that three readers. I enjoyed reading your Blog today and if what you said, “Writing is the only thing I’ve ever done that I truly loved.” Your only reason for not writing in your Blog would be that you don’t want to share your wonderful “Gift” of writing with the world, which would be our loss.

Don’t worry about being “A Bad Blogger” you don’t have to respond to my comment. I am happy that you have written in your Blog, that’s your comment to me. I have challenged myself to write in my Blog everyday and at first, it was easy because it was new to me, forget the fact that I can’t write. I am trying to learn how to write my thoughts, just as you have, you make it look easy.

Thank you for Blogging,

Jeff

 I am not content with my writing today but I did write it. I will continue to write as long as the "Enjoyment" I receive is greater than the "Embarrassment." Me, "Making Blogging Hard."

Thanks for Listening,
