I see my blog looks like crap with just one post. I certainly want it to look way better before I retire from blogging and move on to the next item on my bucket list. I face several challenges in writing more posts. Of course there is writer's block -- my mind is completely empty when it comes to selecting a topic. Also I am sure any topic I select will be of no interest to anyone else so the writing seems quite pointless. I am not good at proactive time waste.
The bigger challenge I face relates to the embarrassing fact that I don't write very well, I can't spell and my grammar sucks. In 7th grade, children in Kent Ohio moved from a "S" and "U" grading system to the "A, B, C, D or F" scale. In English I was a consistent performer at "D". Sometimes I fell behind a bit and carried a D-. A couple times I applied myself and pulled a D+. But "D" was the rule. My parents appreciated my consistency and were able to hand down a grounding even if I happened to lose my report card on the way home from school.
I am reading more and more blogs. I think I saw a statistic there are 1000000000000000000000 blogs out there and for the ones I have seen, the writing seems pretty good. I know the spelling should be mostly right because of spell check. But why is it that all these people can write so much better than me? I am sure I am as smart as most of them, right?
The good news is that none of this is important because I have no blog or twitter followers and I guessing nobody will ever read this. My plan -- post away without spell check, grammar stress or even proofreading. Blogging is fun.
