Busy Busy Bumble Bee
Oh, life has kept me busy enough to not be here. Mom was home 3 days in a row. It’s not really a big deal, it just limits my computer time. I’m not on all day getting important things done, then finishing them up in the evening. At that point I am generally rushing at night to get as much as I can finished before I get so tired I about fall asleep at the comp. When things are like that, something has to give. That generally means I have to give on my personal posts here. And that’s where I have been these last couple days. Busy.
As you probably already realize, blogging is a hobby for me… not a job. No amount of money will turn blogging into a job for me. I love it too much. But I think I get a little nervous about wanting to do a good job on something that I write, then I don’t do so well when it’s finished. I over think every sentence and pick at it for a half hour after I’m done trying to make sure it is right.
Of course over thinking things makes my writing come out much worse than it would have been when I’m done. It has the opposite effect from what I was trying for.
When I try to write about one of the business opportunities or franchise opportunities I’ve been emailed, I do exactly what I mentioned. I over think it. I try to be loose and relaxed when I write, but I’m just a little nervous when I think I’m going to be critiqued. No one’s fault but my own.
The worse of it is when I get a bit of writers block. It’s a killer. It usually hits me when everything I’ve written starts to sound the same. Then I realize I need to freshen things up a little or die from getting mundane. I’ve gotten writers block while writing work at home mom profiles more than once.
I’ve found that it’s not always easy to freshen up what I’m writing when I’m writing about the same topic daily, but on the other hand I like kind of “specializing” on one topic considering I am also a wahm. It’s just usually I’m feeling a little short of inspiration on some new thoughts when I come across yet another wahm business that’s the same as the one I’d written about recent, and such. The unique ones are the best to write about, they spark a little bit of excitement in me and the words just flow.
The only thing easier to write is a random blog entry like this one. I don’t have to form and edit my thoughts like I do profiles and such.
And for that reason my post tonight is going to have to end here. I have some extra stuff to write to make up for not getting it done earlier. It looks like it’s going to be a looong night. I’ll try to type it all up as fast as I can. Until later.
