1. I wake up each morning with a nagging conscience because I haven't the foggiest notion what to offer you as a legitimate post. However, I know better than to even start to think about subject matter before becoming properly caffeinated. So, I drink one, two, or three cups of coffee before opening up my Mac and staring at a blank document.2. This goes on 20-30 minutes before my fingers start to do their thing.
3. I read over the final post exactly one time before I hit the "Publish" button. I realize my post probably contains all sorts of ugly grammatical constructions and typographical errors. Still, I've never really considered blogging as a form of publishing anything. So, it really doesn't matter.
Or, does it?
4. I feel guilty about my laziness, go back to the site, and read it again. I spend the next 20 minutes correcting and editing my original post, all the while wishing you hadn't read the first draft. It wasn't worthy of you.
5. A few hours later, I get another nagging feeling about the day's post. It's still not right. I realize I made other blunders and decide to save myself from further embarrassment. I go back to the post and make even more edits, realizing all the while I am not a writer and my posts are never going to be perfect.
6. I close my Mac out of an utter feeling of pointlessness.
7. I wake up the next morning and repeat steps 1-6.
What's your approach to blogging?
