In my very first post on this blog (August 2015 Archive) I mentioned the vulnerability of sharing my thoughts...putting them out there for all to see.....well I use the word "all" very loosely. I do not know how many readers read all of my ramblings but I think about it often.
So why don't I post more? That is a question I ask myself.....so let's explore. TOO OPEN: I mentioned vulnerability,.....maybe that is a little bit of the reason but heck, I'm usually an open book so why start feeling vulnerable now? TIME: I would like to first write down the excuse of "I don't have time" but that is not true. Yes, I am a fairly busy person with many things on my plate but I could probably find an hour a month to make a post. CONTENT: So with "time" out of the way, the next thing that stands in my way is a topic. I don't have a boring life...I went to Ireland in May and have many stories I could share. But I have put the pressure on myself that I must be cleaver and thought provoking. BUT the name of this blog is "thinking out loud." And even though I consider myself hilarious and cleaver, I just box myself in to having a great line or closing that will leave the readers wanting more. Most bloggers (at least I think this applies to most bloggers) share thoughts of great information, many are theme-based. There are blogs for builders, moms, historians, etc. THIS blog is far from the sharing great information. And because of that...I find it very difficult to make frequent posts. I need to SAY something and it needs to be CLEAVER and LEAVE THE READER WANTING MORE. So if I believe that 6 months of blogs that I have posted have left the readers wanting more....then they must be so disappointed, So to the two of you...I apologize. But I have told myself that I'm going to do at least one post a month--maybe two--ok, I just got carried away in the moment but at least one. So.......I'm making a list of possible topics. Maybe thinking ahead will give me motivation. Maybe getting in the swing of writing will leave ME wanting more...... one can only hope.
