I may talk a lot but most of what I say isn&#8217;t interesting or important enough to want to write it down.<\/p>\n<p>2. My spelling is atrocious. If it wasn&#8217;t for spell check no one would understand a thing I say.<\/p>\n<p>3. Writing something thinking someone might one day read it makes you think a lot harder about how and what you write.<\/p>\n<p>4. The only time I can settle into blog is after the kids are in bed. The rest of the day I am to distracted by other things.<\/p>\n<p>5. If it isn&#8217;t a conscious decision to blog you will forget and even still you might forget.<\/p>\n<p>6. I am able to enjoy writing. In high school I never imagined that I could enjoy writing anything.<\/p>\n<p>7. Blogging is hard when I don&#8217;t get out of the house. I need inspiration from the world.<\/p>\n<p>8. Blogging brings out my in poet and now you know it. (Sorry I had to.)<\/p>\n<p>9. It&#8217;s cheaper then therapy but can be just as relieving.<\/p>\n<p>10. I am a night blogger. I just don&#8217;t have the focus during the day.<\/p>\n<p>11. Although great to have blogging from a phone is not easy.<\/p>\n<p>12. The more exhausted I am the less I make sense. Even to myself.<\/p>\n<p>13. It&#8217;s hard to be creative for your own purpose but not as hard to come up with ideas for others.<\/p>\n<p>14. When stuck for something to write ask others for ideas it&#8217;s easier for them (see #13).<\/p>\n<p>15. Weekend days are hard to blog on. There is just no energy left at the end of the day.<\/p>\n<p>16. I have no idea how to add video to my blog.<\/p>\n<p>17. I need to learn more about WordPress and how to work it.<\/p>\n<p>18. There is way to much spam.<\/p>\n<p>19. Sometimes spam comments are really nice even if they aren&#8217;t real. (I can pretend for a little.)<\/p>\n<p>20. I need to learn about spam blockers and install a better one then what I have. 30+ a day is to many.<\/p>\n<p>21. I don&#8217;t write about my kids as much as I thought I would but it&#8217;s still a lot.<\/p>\n<p>22. Blogging is easier to do when you have a blogging &#8220;buddy&#8221; to help remind you and help to keep you motivated.<\/p>\n<p>23. It is hard to blog with a baby in your lap.<\/p>\n<p>24 . It is nearly impossible to blog with a toddler in the room.<\/p>\n<p>25. It is flustering to blog with a child that is learning to read in the room. &#8220;Mommy what&#8217;s that word?&#8221; Every time you type a word.<\/p>\n<p>26. Blogging during insane times is a nice feeling of control of something no matter how small or inconsequential.<\/p>\n<p>27. You never know who will read your blog and it can be a nice surprise to know someone is interested.<\/p>\n<p>28. Blogging doesn&#8217;t have to take a lot of time.<\/p>\n<p>29. Short blogs seem more likely to actually be read.<\/p>\n<p>30. Compiling a list like this one is hard. I can&#8217;t remember what I&#8217;ve written so I might have repeated things. If I did&#8230;.oh well, sorry. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
