10 + 1 Reasons Why its Easier to be a Spectator rather than a Blogger

Email, Rate, Bookmark This

Torana (Andrew Bell 2007)The title says it all… After a blogging holiday I am back with more spare time, fresh full of ideas and new enthusiasm, I did note however that it was hard to get windows live writer and start my first post back and I thought I’d share some of the reasons with you

 

  1. Time - although some indicate it takes minutes to write hundreds of words, I’m not of that camp
  2. Thinking - Knowing what to say is not that easy
  3. Keeping up to date - Knowing what other people have said and not said
  4. Comparison with previous posts - The pressure for me is to make sure each post is as good as the previous one.
  5. Apathy - it is easier to do nothing than to do something
  6. Wikipedia - The random function saps times from otherwise productive blogging
  7. Work - Paying the bills is a priority and devoting time to that part of my life can be easier than writing comments for free.
  8. People - People in the real world need attention too!
  9. Projects - writing online is not one’s only passion
  10. Fear - Fear from people seeing what you are thinking, judging what you have written and criticizing what you have to say - doing nothing and no one will say anything
  11. Technology - This was added at the end, I have had major hosting problems and even this post was delayed by days becuase of server faults / issues / challenges

At the end of the day, my exams are over, I have time to blog and have got over my other issues to begin posting regularly.  Be a doer not a sayer; let people know what you have to say and you and they will benefit!

It’s always nice to have a little break from the net…my g/f has finals as well and it’s a stressful time ;)..once its over though its time to just relax and enjoy the holidays and maybe blog a bit.

The break was great, I did not think that I was addicted to the internet, but trying to not get online and check my rss and explore my favourite sites was harder than I thought it would be. Now, if my hosting provider would stop killing my blog i’ll be happy. :)
