I imagine that most people who read this blog also write their own or have dabbled with the idea and I imagine that if this is the case you too have been in the situation I currently find myself. I do not know what to write.
It is not that there is nothing happening or that I have nothing to share, quite the contrary - but there is so much going on that I just can't manage to pin down just one thing to share with you without bringing everything up and turning one simple blog post into a major writing piece. While all this is happening some might say, just don't post anything for a while than - but I feel like I need to write, to share... and so I find myself in a predicament.
It was thinking through this that I thought, that's it! I can share my predicament. How many of you have felt the need to write something but just been unable to pin down what it is you wish to write about??
How do you come about choosing what to write about next? Sometimes I do a series and so I'm bound to the next topic by the need to complete the series. I am currently in the midst of a series actually but there's not a weekly commitment to it but rather a commitment not to give up on it entirely (it is a very long series - in my thinking anyhow).
Mainly for me though, I write when I've been thinking about something - or if something has been plaguing me - or I make a discovery, some new pane of understanding that I just want to share with others. Other times it's to share 'things' which have been happening but mainly it's when I 'feel' prompted to do so (as much as I dislike using the term 'feel' to describe reason). I feel I have a responsibility now that I have started this blog to update it frequently (preferably once a week but at least one a month) otherwise I feel guilty, so that's part of it. But other times it's like another part of me is prompting me to write something, and I don't always know what it is I'm being prompted to write until I start.
Anyway, I think that's all I have to say today - your thoughts are always welcome as you well know!
God Bless
