My love/hate relationship with blogging

I have a love/hate relationship with blogging.

There are times I get completely gung-ho,  have some really great blog post ideas, start my To Do lists and… and….

Oh, hello life.

It doesn’t take long before the reality of keeping a blog up to date always sends me into an ice-cream-required panic.  Which is silly. Blogging should be fun.  It shouldn’t be about what I ‘should’ or ‘must’ write about.  It should be about whatever I darn well feel like writing in the moment when I feel like writing it.  Isn’t that why I write books? Isn’t that why I started writing in the first place?

Because I Love. To. Write.

So that’s how I ended up with this post.  I am determined to write until I finish, no matter what it says (sorry for that), how short it is, and see what happens.  Let’s see if it’s fun for me, fun for you.. and hey, maybe I’ll learn a thing or two about myself in the process.  Because there is no good reason that writing posts of 250-500 words-ish should send me for the Haagan Daaz.

One of my questions that has stopped me before… how long should a post be? How short is acceptable?  If I can convince myself that I don’t need to write a 2500 word essay with every blog post, that might be hurdle #1.  So here goes that.

What say you?

This post, right here, is 250 words.  Is that enough? Do you need more?   Do you write more?  Why do you blog? Or why don’t you? Let’s chat.
