I had a post written but decided not to use it for tons of reasons or maybe for one reason. What would be a good excuse not to post something? Bad idea? Bad taste? Bad timing? Too personal? Not personal enough? Too offensive? Too provoking? Not provoking enough? Whatever the reasons, they are essentially excuses.
Not that I need an excuse not to blog but sometimes it seems I reason myself out of posting this or that for reasons that may be considered dumb when I really think about it. Maybe I think too much about a post before posting and maybe I don't think enough. Whatever excuse not to post, it's probably not as dumb as I think or maybe it is. I still have more excuses not to post than to post.
If you're a blogger, do you need excuses not to post something or are you the type who are willing to share just about everything with your readers?
I do consider the material I post. -christine cmlk79.blogspot.com

DeleteEveryone has to have standards and boundaries.
ReplyDeleteDebra: Yes, I agree with you. But spammer probably doesn't.

I definitely don't share everything on my blog. I try to keep my posts positive...and while I do share some private things, my posts are mostly about books.
ReplyDeleteLark: I also try to keep what I post positive but still honest. It seem impossible for me not to share some things even though they might not see private but they are kind of private in a tiny way. Even though you post about books, you still choose to pick which books to talk about so that's like a private opinion.

Oh yes, I think about what I post. And mostly stick to the trivial.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child: It's probably easier to stick with trivial things because then you don't worry whether they will get read, right? But trivial to you might not be trivial to others.

For me too peronal, or maye better put too personal involving other people, would be where I drew the line.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte: Personal? It depends I guess. You choose to share what you want and maybe that's too personal but I don't mind it. People can choose to share whatever they want and readers can decide if they want to read them or not.
