Today as I sat down to blog, my brain was completely empty. I could think of literally nothing to write about. Because I've been working and my job actually requires brain activity now, I don't just brain storm odd brilliance anymore.
When thinking about this fact, I came around to the simple prompt of "hate". Remember
I thought I was kind of hilarious when I made the graphic for this post because it is...disheveled. I was getting frustrated with creating the picture. I didn't like the colors, I didn't like the fonts...I was just being a flat out negative Nancy. So...I give you.
10) Photo editing
Although I think it really makes a blog post a lot better to have nicely edited photos that are watermarked and graphics that are nice and cute that draw the eye and catch attention of internet browsers everywhere, it is so time consuming. It can turn a 10 minute blog project into a 2 hour deal.
Am I right?!
9) Networking
Networking is more of a love/hate sort of deal. While I love to make new friends and connect with other bloggers, it can really get to be difficult to find blogs like yours and discover a group that you fit in with...it's difficult. Not only that, some bloggers are all like "you better stay out of my blog circle"
8) Finding inspiration
I really am a 5 days a week blogger, I promise but lately, I just can't think of anything to write about.
7) Knowing what to share and what not to share
Back in the day, I used to basically air out my dirty laundry on my blog. I didn't really see it as the worst thing in the world then, but now, I hold it back a little. Sometimes I will spill my guts, but I try to do in a more...classy manner. It's just hard to know what it okay to put out there, and what should be kept to myself.
6)Spell checking & Proof reading
I hat ot soo muuch htat I raerly even do it at alllll.
see what I did there?
5) The undeniable urge to say "did you read my blog?"
I'm a blog whore. I ask people all the time if they had the chance to check it out. I really try not to, but it will just pop out. Or I post it on Facebook more than once or tweet it 4 times. I just wanna be loved... :'(
4) Commenting on other blogs
I read a zillion blogs. I really do, but lately, I don't have all day to sit around and leave my two cents on them. Especially the ones that already get like 50983240932 comments on them..I'll just skip over it thinking, you don't need my love.
3) It is oddly time consuming.
I used to be this awesome blogger than came home, sat at the computer, wrote a post, scheduled it. and it was done. Bam. Ready for the next day. Now, here I am at 10 o'clock considering just making this Thursday post a Friday post because this is taking way too long.
2) The obligation to show how perfect my life is...when it isn't.
Oh, no one else?....oh...this is embarrassing.
1)Taking 4000 pictures of everything I do because it might be "blogable"
I know I'm not the only one who has unused pictures of food, outfits, outings, my fingernails, my toenails, my planner, my hairdo, my car...
Really, I could probably write 20-25 things that I hate about blogging. But honestly, I don't really care. Because overall, I like to blog. It really is a huge part of my life and I love it including all the crappy stuff that comes with it.
What do you hate about blogging?
