You're absolutely right, the more common problem is not that you have nothing to say but that you have too much to say and you're afraid that you might not do it justice in this next post. "Maybe I should think about this a little more," you think and that goes on forever. I've been there and go through the same on a daily basis. Part of the reason I wrote my latest blog posts about taking chances and not getting too attached to your ideas. I guess we all need to learn that its ok to tackle an idea on your blog and not do the one perfect definitive post. You can always take on the topic again and correct what you missed before. You're off to a good start, and the fact that you are experiencing all the problems with beginning means you're heading in the right direction. Stick to it and I'm sure the path will become clearer. As a parting gift, I think you might find this interesting: http://www.changethis.com/1.ArtOfTheStart <em>Samir</em> Like all complex tasks, blogging is at once harder than you think it’s going to be, and easier than it seems.
