Less things to say

Freak out and pretend you're blogging
I seem to be posting less and less these days. Even though I am constantly writing posts, I keep not posting anything because I find nothing worth sharing, that is, nothing that I don't find boring. So I silently keep things to myself and post only what I thought aren't boring but I guess everything I post these days are boring. There is none of the excitement when I have a post ready or perhaps the excitement die down too quickly. I could spend a month on a post and finish writing it and creating the art/image but then not post it and I had done that a lot. It's easier not to post than to post and regret it. Of course it's easy to hit that revert to draft button but I don't want to use it.
    When I started blogging years ago, I have tons of things to say. And I guess I might been vomiting anything that came to my head without too much thought if anyone find them boring or not. I was so inspired that I had to post everything. Somehow it's just easier back then because everything seemed new and I might have thought sharing whatever I want is better than not sharing anything at all. There's a different mentality then, I suppose.
   These days there are still things I want to share but I guess not as much as before so I mostly don't share them. Plus, I forget easily. One moment I have an idea and then I lost it the next because I didn't write it down. So less posts, less blogging, pretty much less of everything. I'm okay with it but I guess I'm losing readers for lack of new posts. But at least I have seven or so readers so I'm not talking to myself or so I think.

If you're a long-time blogger, do you find you have less things to post now compare to when you first started blogging?

  1. This is the main reason why I have an eclectic-with-a-capital-E blog. I made the decision when I first started blogging not to restrict my topics to one general theme. Instead, anything goes! I blog about whatever strikes my fancy. That way I never run out of subjects or topics to address with the written word or with memes. And blogging rarely seems dull or boring to me.

  2. I agree. I'm lucky to get out one post a week and, believe me, they are boring - even to me
