Blogging to blog

Patti and I talked a lot about blogging this week. I have not succeeded yet in overcoming blogging inertia, so all of my blogs have fizzled out like the vast majority of new blogs do. Nonetheless, I've been encouraging her to start her own blog because I think she has something to add to the world. I encouraged her to quit worrying what her blog should be "about" and just to do it, and let the rest work itself out.

Naturally, she threw this reasoning right back at me, and here we are. Like writing in general, I think publishing probably requires as much tenacity as talent, so I may occasionally write a blog post about blogging itself, as I'm doing now, just to force myself to do so. Someday, maybe I'll look back on this and be glad I did.
