I still don’t get this whole writing thing.

One day I come up with something great to write about, while I’m supposed to be working. I think it through all day. Try to figure out how I want to set it up. Compose in my mind how to best convey to you what is in my head . I finally get home, rush through dinner and go downstairs to tap out my great post that I have been thinking about all day.

The next day I come home and sit in front of my computer. I think to myself, you should really write something. I don’t know what to write about. Maybe I’ll just write about this thing. I tap it out in 15 minutes or so.

Guess which one gets all the attention. This just goes to show, that I am no judge of what is good. It also tells me that I need to be careful not to overthink this whole blogging thing. It’s fine to try to write great things, but I can’t take it too seriously. You nice people started reading this just cause I was being me, I guess. And oddly enough I get the most favorable attention when I’m just being me.

On a related note, I would like to thank Shane for the nice words he said about my writing on his blog. He is a great writer and I enjoy his blog very much. The fact that he noted something I’ve written has made my week.
