To Blog or Not to Blog

Aug 04 2008

The trouble with web blogging is this– when you rest for a day or two from writing the number of entries you usually do, it takes off the momentum and hibernation becomes so tempting that no matter how many assignments are in queue, you’d want to get them off your back and sleep them all off. I have been in this contemplative mood for a couple of days now, thinking if this is just an after effect of the second time the big G has slapped our site with a big, fat zero or it could also be the weather that regularly attempts to put me into deep comma. Or both.

I have read somewhere that Blogging requires passion and authority, which leaves out most people. Honestly, making a garden decor interests me now more than blogging. But who knows I might just beautifully pick up that passion and get right back to racing away towards this site’s 1,000th post. We’ll see, if I get by just getting two to three posts live in a day, that should tell you what got the best of me.

I was on plurk the other day and one of my buddies there said that she had finished all her blog posts for August and had them all scheduled for posting-and that she would likely add a few more posts as things struck her mind.

My mind boggled at the very idea of having a month’s worth of posts in the can. So don’t feel alone, blogging can be a bit of a challenge at times.

I know what yo mean Jen, it’s pretty hard when you don’t blog for a day or two and you simple want to continue to be on “hibernation”, so to speak…

I’ve been there, too…in fact, G has snubbed my two self-hosted blogs! Perhaps because it’s still new…ah, we’ll just wait and see then…

I hear getting good backlinks can help in giving G a heads up…

Sometimes blogging snatched my precious time for my family and writing Cebuano short stories and poems. But I have to continue what I have started.

Fortunately, I have the urge and momentum now to write my entries on short story and poetry category of the Gawad Komisyon 2008 spearheaded by the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino.

My sites had their PR put to 0 again too.. I did have PR for a little while for a few months, that was nice.

Sometimes I get in blogging moods, and sometimes not. Right now.. I’m not. Oh well.
