Drooping motivation

I'm at that point where I'm wondering if I'll keep going with the blog.

I mean it's fun for sure but sometimes I feel like it's another responsibility to take care of.

It kind of scares me, if scare is the right word at all, that a whole bunch of people clicked on my profile to find out something about me.

Granted I don't reveal much but the fact that a bunch of people clicked is interesting nonetheless.


Anyway, I'm not sure whether to keep going, maybe on a less frequent basis or something. I read today that 65% of people who blog don't consider what they write to constitue journalism. Is that really a surprise?

I also read on Robert Scoble's blog yesterday, trawling back a little through some of what he has written recently, that he seriously disapproves of people writing blogs and not telling their boss. I personally don't agree with what he thinks in this instance, but you can make your own mind up by reading the piece here.

I don't really feel like I need anyone's permission to write what I feel like writing. Obviously I'm not going to trash talk about where I work or anything like that. That is just plain stupid.

But the idea that somehow I need to tell my boss that I write a blog. I'm not sure why I would need to do that. Where would that end? With me telling my boss that I'm planning to write a letter to the newspaper or to call a radio show phone in and give my opinion on something.

I'm old enough to exercise judgement about what I write. The main issue now is whether I bother to continue.
