This, coming from my favorite marketing guy, Seth Godin
"Everyone is lonely. People spend money (and make money) and join organizations and invest time and enormous energy to solve this problem. Every day."
On blogging, this is what he has to say:
Just one post
A lot of people have blogs. But most people don't.
I think you should. Even if you only have one post in you.
Having a blog is pretty daunting, especially if you don't like blank paper and are the sort of person that hates falling behind. I can imagine that the idea of posting 50 or 300 times a year is a little bit nuts for many people.
But what if there's just one thing you need to say, but you can say it clearly and well and in a way that hasn't been said before? What if you've got one great blog post inside of you, and, even better, you're willing to update that post as you learn more and gain more insight?
An entire post about a certain kind of fossil. Or the misuse of a certain word. Or about a key difference between two kinds of bluetooth...
Why not?
****
I am not in the zone, and my random thoughts are boring me; often wondering what the point of all this is.
Am I saying it clearly? I circumvent, use too many words, we've established that, and I acknowledged that.
In a way that hasn't been said before? Surely others have said it, and in less words, too.
What is this blog space all about, other than the musings of a single thirtysomething? Should it be impersonal and revolve around commentaries on shoes?
I guess my point is, I'm trying to find out how to best live this single life, my life. Whether temporary or not, eventful or boring; involving shoes, men, work or not; stories crafted or true to life, they will keep coming. Where does it all end? I am just as curious. I guess it all ends when I can no longer write.
