Not-so-good at the blogging

I’ve been kind of annoyed with myself lately because I can write a damn good blog post in my mind but whenever I sit down in front of the computer to type it out, it never comes out right.  But I swear, I can only write it in my head.  Even if I have a piece of paper in front of me, I wouldn’t be able to get those good blog post thoughts out.  I used to blog about “whatever” and I was fine with that.  For some reason, these days, I put a lot of pressure on myself to get out a meaningful blog post.  I kind of miss the days of my “whatever” blog posts.  I almost enjoyed blogging more when I didn’t care.  Now, I feel like you aren’t viewed as an interesting blogger unless you’re writing is extremely engaging or you’re blogging about current events.

Has the blogging bar been raised by the success of bloggers like Dooce?  Is it all about how many people read your blog?  I suppose I should just direct these questions at myself because I am the one who feels this way.

  1. I know exactly what you mean. Some of my best posts are written in my head while I’m nursing the baby to sleep in the darkness of my bedroom. If he doesn’t go to sleep quickly so I can get up and start typing it, it’s lost forever. Somehow what I come up with in the morning is never as good. Or I just have nothing.
