Some posts can be done fast, some take days as they require some research and type fitting.

i write daily because I am a freelance writer but i use my blogs to write about the things I like. Unfortunately, there are a lot of times I find it difficult to find the time to blog and I get so frustrated sometimes.

I would really like to be paid for blogging, that way I wont have to write about things that I have no interest in but unfortunately, I have no idea how to do that.

… and if you’re just to lazy or ignorent to do insane amounts of research about theorycrafting, upcoming patches etc, you can always stick to the opinion/ranting kind of posts = less risk of getting facts totally wrong. Blogging isn’t necessary always about educating people. It’s also about entertaining! Chose the field that comes most easily to you, don’t bend yourself into something that isn’t you.

I agree totall about your points. Don’t overdo it. Don’t hesitate. Don’t get afraid of the blank sheet. Just keep on writing until it it becomes one of your basic needs, or as you put it, a second nature. It will. Eventually. Just be patient.

I totally agree. There was a great comment from someone who’s name I forget. Something like, “Get your (project) posted now, since now is the worst it will ever be. You can always tweak and improve it, but if you don’t post, because it isn’t perfect, it will never be posted.”

Get it up there, go ahead and fail, but get it up there. Heck, turn off comments for awhile. When you turn them back on start asking for comments. You may be pleasantly surprised by what you get.

If I was worried about failing…well, my blog wouldn’t have ANY posts.

Let me get this straight, I should keep blogging even though I have so much fail I have to keep the extra fail boxed up in the basement?

Now that I can do =)

Hmm… interesting points. But what about when you have a post that just isn’t what you had in mind… so you keep trying to improve it… and improve it… and you can’t write anything else, since that one is in the wings… and it just never gets published because it’s never good enough? I think that’s a valid worry that a lot of bloggers have, too.

As usual, well thought out article!
