If only I had seen this 5 years ago!
I found an article today that if I had seen it 5 years ago, well nothing would change. But I also wouldn’t have anything to write today! The article is on the How To Wiki and it is called “How to dissuade yourself from becoming a blogger” It is just chock full of information like:
Find five completely random blogs, and read them daily for a month. After thirty days, you will absolutely dread your self-imposed requirement to read all that dreck. Any blog you create will most likely be on par with what you’ve been reading. Don’t put anyone through that.
And of course who wouldn’t find this persuasive:
Ask yourself if you really have the time to commit to a blog. What about that tree house you wanted to build? Or the book you wanted to write? Or the car you wanted to fix up? Or the restaurant you wanted to take your wife to? Or the new career you wanted to pursue? Instead of writing about pretty much nothing, or whining about all the things you wish you were doing instead, start doing something that’d actually be worth writing about. And if it’s really worth writing about, you’ll be having too much fun doing it to tear yourself away from it.
For the most part I have always enjoyed the wiki but for some reason this article taints their credibility in my book!

I cannot imagine living life “blogless”, either reading or writing. It’s my therapy, my entertainment, for goodness sakes, it’s my social life!!! (Is that sad???)
And I can’t imagine life without my BlogFriends. Especially not that…
I’m glad you didn’t read that article five years ago, just on the off chance that it would have dissuaded you from blogging.
