Musings on blogging

Reading my favourite blogs often feels like having my own personalised magazine - one that I know I'll love but one that I never know exactly what it will contain. It's like having a fave online magazine that provides stacks of inspiration!


But in the few months I've been blogging, I sometimes ponder the following questions...

• Why is it that I feel that I must have a picture with every blog post?
  
• Why is that some days I struggle to find something to post and other days I have a million and one blogging ideas running around in my head?
• Why is it that I feel so happy when someone leaves a comment?
• Why do I constantly worry about copyright infringement?
• Why is it that some days it feels as if I am just rehashing something that's already been seen a thousand times before in the blogosphere and other days I think 'hey, that's not a bad post!'?
• Why is it that I now look at the world around me and see much more beauty and want to capture it (with my crappy camera) all the time?
  
• Why is it that with some blogs I can always find something to comment on, whereas with other blogs I feel too scared or overawed to even press the 'comment' button?
  
• Why do I feel compelled to blog at least once a day when I can?
  
• Where oh where do all these brilliant bloggers find all these fabulous images? Now if I wanted to find some fiendishly chic picture of a gorgeous woman sitting at an irresistably gorgeous desk with a magnificent view (a la Diane Keaton's desk in 'Somethings Gotta Give'), I wouldn't even know where the hell to begin to find it.
• Why do I have so much trouble formatting in Blogger? Take a look at the line spacing in this very post.
• Why do I use so many exclamation marks when I blog?
  
• Why is it that at 10 o'clock at night I'm sitting here thinking these inane thoughts and typing them into my blog??

Oh well, maybe I'll feel like rising to the challenge of posting something inspirational tomorrow. Everyone has their off days right?!?
