Blogging?

Why is blogging so difficult for me? I'm a writer! I write novels! Why then, do I struggle to periodically post a few words online?I don't know. Maybe because a blog isn't a novel. I always said I couldn't write short stories, and my blogging block appears to bear it out. Part of the problem is that I really figure no one's reading. I mean, what am I blogging about? My life? How utterly boring to anyone but me. You'd think the presumed lack of public interest would be freeing. Similar to a journal that no one will read, so you can write anything you please in it. With my luck though, if I approached blogging in that light, someone would not only read my entries, but find them horribly offensive. I"ve looked at other writer's blogs. Most seem to have no difficulty generating blog topics from week to week or month to month. They pose questions for their readers to consider (and answer) and host contests with a wide range of prizes. I bow down before their efforts, and still walk away uninspired, if not outright intimidated. But autumn is the season of renewal, for me. My birthday happens soon, and I always use it the way some folks do the New Year, to evaluate and commit (or recommit) to changes I'd like to make and goals I'd like to achieve. In that spirit, I hereby formally pledge to blog about something a minimum of once a week, at least until the end of this year. At that point, I'll re-evalute again. So if anybody's out there, stay tuned.
