Pretty much the same reasons.

[...] Why I’m a Terrible Blogger (and You Should Be, Too)– “What’s up with life getting in the way of (first) our dreams and aspirations… and now our blogging? I’m a terrible blogger because I’m less original than other bloggers — like the lazy graphic designer of blogging…” [...]

jeez, Adam way to make me want to give up blogging all together! For real, this is inspiring! I know for sure that ALOT of times my time could be more productive cooking healthier meals, cleaning or just hanging out my hubs after the kids are in bed at night. Sometimes I’ve justified it to myself b/c I feel that I “need” to platform build in order to get my memoir published by a reputable publisher/agent…and other times I know I do it b/c it’s definitely more fun than engaging real life…it’s my escape activity even more than TV/movies, etc. Anyway, it’s really amazing how many times I’ve went back and forth about this, and for now have landed that it’s okay for me to blog, but I need to do it smarter (blog less often and create higher quality posts) + use it to practice writing by guest blogging more often (which is where I really tend to put my best blogging foot forward=). This is a really helpful reminder though… lot of good stuff to think through and a good challenge to consider today, especially as I am leaving staff and wondering how and what to do with my writing.

Thanks, Tom. Your long-ball view is a valuble one in the ephemeral blogosphere.

Yes! Life gets in the way of…other life. Somehow the minutiae matters.

We’re different on your other two points. I think I’m pretty original. It’s the making of time to execute those ideas (thus my blog title).

And I have exactly one blog post draft in the works right now. Once I start on an idea, I pretty much crank it and post it. No muss, no fuss. I’m not a careful editor of my own work. Usually, the idea is the point for me, not the craft.

So how about we provide a bit of accountability for each other? I’ve got a similar number of blog ideas in Evernote as you have as drafts in your CMS. Let’s watch out for each other.

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about blogging in this direction. The piece I have in mind is something like “Building a Platform for an Audience of One” (or “Audience of Significance”)…Platform can be just another empty pursuit, though I don’t discount the importance of one and try to build one. Like you, I want to build a good, smart, appropriate one, in the place and space it deserves, no more, no less.

Thanks for thinking and writing back on this, Jeff. I think we’re pretty close on this issue, no?

Gotta have priorities, though I wonder what might come of your photography in the coming years, Kyle. Are you coming to ONS?
