I have a few blogs that I write for. Most are under a different name coz I got married and used that name. This is the only work blog I write and I find it hard to have any mojo for it.
Wonder why that is?
The other blogs I either write or contribute to are not any more interesting in terms of comments, insights etc but they must be somewhat compelling since I have over 50,000 readers. Indeed, I would propose that they are sometimes a total snooze fest. I don't really need any research or clever citations on those blogs and yet ...
I think the issue is ... Work. Insightful!!! This is a blog that is supposed to contribute to my work output. I am supposed, I ought, I should. Not very motivating statement. I'm aware that clients look to this blog to see who we are and what we think so it needs to be PG rated. I am not a PG rated type of gal. I like to learn and create through managed chaos and conflict.
I don't really read worky blogs because I feel they are contrite and too staged. If I want that I can read a newspaper. Before it got sold, the Huff was a great place for staged blogging.
Maybe I should just bite the bullet and write this blog as I hear the monologue in my brain. Maybe then I would receive some joy back from writing it? Maybe then I wouldn't feel like this blog sucks.
