I Suck at Blogging

What’s one of the most important keys to a good blogger? Well, the fact that they actually write a blog post now and then certainly would help. The reality is that I have been so busy both professionally and personally that my blog has fallen to the bottom of my priority list. I still want a life after all and given a choice between spending time with my wife and family or spending time writing my blog … well, the wife and family will always win out.

The problem I have with keeping my blog updated is that I’m just not one to throw a lot of fluff out there. If you’re going to take the time to read my blog, then I want to take the time to give you something worthwhile to read. Maybe I need to lower my personal expectations a bit and focus on more snippets than full-blown analysis.

However, I am … once again … going to make a concerted effort to blog more consistently. Stay tuned!

    As a former ad copywriter, I can reassure you that pointed snippets, in which every word counts, are great. Less is more etc.

    Totally agreed, Eliza. I’ll work at shortening my points and packing it in quickly.

    I understand (and share) your dilemma completely. I go through the same process myself and am even worse since I haven’t even found the importance to update the *look* much less post.

    The wife and kids, your regular paycheck, your other activities, and hockey are all more important (in that rough order).
