Five Reasons Why I Don’t Want To Write A Blog Post

1. I don’t have much time. (Okay, I have all the time in the world, I just don’t feel like it)

2. My life is boring, not much to talk about. (Sure, I have two kids, a hubby, a job that’s demanding and other projects that can keep me busy, but…)

3. Why should I blog about stuff when I can write to prompts or make more time to write that next big novel? (Okay, here is another way I can procrastinate, because I usually do not write on that next big novel every day. I get bored on occasion, alright? Geez)

4. Nothing good can come out of blogging. (Well, only if a publisher should say, come by and see a post of mine, and compliment, “oh, you’re a great writer, let’s publish your work” then it might be worth it, otherwise…)

5. And, the number five reason why I should not be blogging is…. *See rule number one and get back to me in the morning, or the afternoon, or the evening, or perhaps tomorrow. I might be busy, not blogging: again.

Clever, Angela. Of course your kids would never give you subject material for a blog.

Janet "Jax" B. Feb 25, 2013, 2:34pm UTC

Oh, mine certainly don't....

Ha, ha John...
My kids probably could give me endless material, if I wanted them too. They just don't. Lol

I have a blog, but it's sad and pathetic. I do post on it, but no one reads it, so why bother.

Angela A. Feb 25, 2013, 6:30pm UTC

I had a blog a long while ago. No one ever read it, so I quit writing there.

Blogs are not everyone.

Angela A. Feb 25, 2013, 6:32pm UTC

I'm guessing you meant that blogs aren't for everyone. Ha, ha

A. F. Stewart Feb 25, 2013, 7:36pm UTC

Yes. Late nights watching the Oscars do not make for good typing the next day.

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 10:40am UTC

Ha, ha... Ha, ha. :)

Write me a blog explaining what in the world a blog is.?

Angela A. Feb 25, 2013, 6:33pm UTC

Is this is a joke or are you serious? I was just wondering. ;)

Pam Brittain Feb 25, 2013, 6:50pm UTC

Quite serious. I have no idea how, why or what it really is. Remember - I don't get out much.

Angela A. Feb 25, 2013, 7:33pm UTC

I honestly have never met anyone online who didn't know what a blog was...
I looked up the definition and got you this link. I hope it helps

Pam Brittain Feb 25, 2013, 7:37pm UTC

Yuck - I'll pass. Thanks though.

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 10:40am UTC

Ha, ha Pam. In a blog you can write anything you want. On Blogspot.com, my blog is labeled for Mature Audiences only.

Pam Brittain Feb 26, 2013, 4:37pm UTC

So, are we blogging right now?

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 11:21pm UTC

This is considered a post on Gather... But, if I put it on my Angel's Romance Chamber blog, then it's a blog. :)

Hey, does this count as a blog post? Lol. :)

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 10:56am UTC

Sure it does Patricia! Any post can become a blog post. :)

Pam Brittain Feb 26, 2013, 4:38pm UTC

I guess my question is answered. We are blogging right now.

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 11:21pm UTC

Sure we are, because we say so. Ha, ha

Thanks so much Terry!

Makes perfect sense to me, Angela. I always figured it required an invitation to it to read someone's blog. I don't like spending a whole lot of time on the computer, anyway.

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 10:52am UTC

Thank you Larry, so much, for agreeing with me.

1. I don’t have much time. (Okay, I have all the time in the world, I just don’t feel like it)

That's I carry an iPad. I writer while I drive. I write while I work. I write while I am being pulled over by the police and when I am fired. It all makes for a great blog.

Angela A. Feb 26, 2013, 10:51am UTC

Ha, ha Greg. You have a ton of missing words in your comment...
Thanks for stopping by... (I'm guessing you wrote this while in the car?)

Connie C. Feb 27, 2013, 1:45am UTC

Greg, I sure hope I never meet you driving and writing at the same time. LOL

Angela,

I loved this. I felt like I was spying on you talking to yourself. :)

Angela A. Feb 27, 2013, 9:18am UTC

Ha, ha Connie. That's a great compliment

I could not imagine blogging everyday. I would wilt under the pressure to be fabulous.

(Ok, stole that line fom Frasier. Niles described his wife, Maris, in similar terms!)

Angela A. Mar 2, 2013, 8:00pm UTC

I definitely could not blog every day. I would get bored
