I suppose it’s my own insecurity talking, but I think my blog is boring. Perhaps this is because I read [URL=http://sunshine.dubtribe.com]my brother’s blog[/url] everyday and it’s filled with fun stuff to look at, interesting posts, colorful pictures and music bytes. I love his blog!
Then, I get inspired to write something fabulous and I sit down and stare at the empty space and stare at the empty space and stare at the empty space.
Perhaps I censor myself too much. Perhaps I just don’t have the patience to learn more about posting cool things. Perhaps I’m fearful of being judged for what I write about. (Am I too simple and uninteresting?)
This brings me to a common misconception I have about myself. I often worry that I am not interesting and so I censor myself ~ which always winds up…you guessed it…making me uninteresting. Ha! That’s the irony.
My brother said that he found, when he first started blogging, he spent a lot of time reading other people’s blogs and the blogs he liked best were the ones which had something new everyday. I enjoy his because I, too, can count on there being a new post everyday…so I am giving myself a challenge. Starting today I am going to do my darndest to post something new everyday and see if it will catch on and become effortless.
But! This challenges you, my handful of loyal, quiet blog readers, to reply to my ideas and sometimes very personal thoughts. Honesty. I appreciate it in my brother’s blog and I am going to try to write with the same abandon and truth…
So, here goes! My next post will a photo recap of my journey from yesterday.
You’ll get the picture…
