Taking Blogging to the Next Level

Subtitle: Confessions of a Blogger

I have a secret.

Writing terrifies me – it always has.  There, I said it.  They say you conquer fear when you face it but, I don’t feel very Genghis Khan.

There were days that I’ve spent perfecting sentences, and weeks forming acceptable paragraphs.  I’ve agonized for extended periods without capturing my thoughts, and in the end trashed whole projects.  And then there’s the editing…these are the struggles that I’ve avoided.

Writing is hard (I’ve already spent an hour writing this).

Louis, you’ve blogged for years.  What more do you want?  I want the Full Monty.  There are short stories to be told, novels to be constructed and a majority of non-fiction to be said.  It’s the whole art meets reality thing, or is that what art is about anyway?

For those who’ve asked, there’s your answer.  That’s as definitive as it gets.  Who, what, where, when, why and how I’ll define later.

    Louis – I can appreciate your thoughts. Even with a PhD, I still find writing one of my biggest challenges. Writing is a personal undertaking at times – you put yourself out there for others to see, judge, and share. It makes sense that it’s something we take a lot of time to do.
