Confession: I Am A Terrible Blogger

And my cat just spit all over me. That is completely beside the point, but it annoyed me, so I thought I'd share, maybe attract a little sympathy.

But really, I am a terrible blogger. I love the idea of blogging, and it helps me get out all the things I have to say that no one wants to listen to. It's like a journal that could potentially respond to me, and even better, it's online, which feeds my Internet addiction and makes me considerably more likely to "journal" than if I were writing in an actual, physical journal. So, why don't I do it more often?

Just about every day, I am filled with things I would say if only there was someone to listen. And at least every other day, I think to myself, "You should blog about ____." And yet, it is weeks, sometimes months, between my posts. And I don't know why.

I could say I don't have the time, but that isn't completely true. I have lots of time. Maybe I'm just not that motivated. I always have good intentions, and when I am blogging, I enjoy it, so there's no negative reinforcers or anything, at least in my own analysis. But I never DO it. It's frustrating!

All I can do, I guess, is what I do every time I suddenly realize I have stopped blogging: try to start again. I am not good at very many things. One of the few things I COULD be good at, if I could just DO it, is blogging. And so blog I must.

(Actually, I just really like the word blog- it's a fun word. Maybe I don't even like to do it, just want to be able to tell people that I blog, have blogged, have been blogging, that I have a blog blog blog blog blog. It's possible.)

I am a terrible blogger. But maybe this time I will succeed! Wish my luck.
