Blogging is Hard Work

Since I came back from vacation in September, I have had a very hard time getting back into blogging.  I have taken up twitter in the meantime, which has occupied more time than I ever imagined, but blogging and micro-blogging are very different.  Until now, every time I blogged I felt that I needed to have a position and a wel thought out argument about an article I read, a site I saw or an idea that I wanted to rant about.  I am starting to think that I was very wrong and didn’t truly get the idea of blogging, which is why I found it so hard to write something every week.

I now think that blogging is about being part of the conversation: the conversation of the web.   It should be an extension of what I micro-blog about and give me and my followers a larger space to converse.

Any thoughts?
