Blog guilt...

Where does it come from? I think that Blog guilt is one of the reasons why I didn’t write in my journal for such a long time (notice the large gap between entries from 2001-2003?). Of course, like any guilt, the guilt wears off after a while and I just don’t think about it too much. I don’t want this to happen with my current Weblog.

I like writing. And I like reading what others have written. It seems like life just gets so busy sometimes. Other things take higher positions on the priority list. Writing can even seem like a tedious task if I feel like other things in my life are more important.

Of course, certain occurrences make me feel like my Weblog isn’t a complete waste of time. Take one of the comments on this post for instance (the one right before mine, I mean). I had started a discussion on Death Cleaning, spurred on by a certain billboard that is posted around our fair city. A few people made their remarks and then the discussion sort of died. Then, on September 4th, a new comment was posted… Posted by the owner of the company in question!

So, whether I thought so or not, my Weblog does reach others than just the “true Weblog readers,” as I mentioned in my response to said comment. While I have had a difficult time at finding time to post my thoughts lately, at least this motivation to post is better than the motivation brought by guilt.

Hopefully, in the coming days, or weeks, or who-knows-when?, I will be back to my introspectively verbose self. Sans guilt.

Facesso libenter! (To accomplish willingly!) That’s what I need… Not guilt.

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. It’s cool because you are the only other Kansas blogger I know of in the same blog neighborhood. I notice in your blogroll many of the blogs I read also. I’ve seen other blogs by Kansans, but nobody who was close to my circle of blog friends.

Anyway, thanks!

Tim, don’t blog out of guilt. You aren’t responsible to us to be ‘introspectively verbose’ on a regular basis. And truly, I enjoy your verbosity whenever you feel led to share it, whether it’s in spurts, or everyday. I’ve never wasted a moment here.

Just write for you, whenever. You’ll enjoy it better that way, too.

Thanks for writing what you do, when you do. Guiltlessly.
