I enjoy blogging, so why don't I do it more?

This is something I think about frequently. I enjoy blogging, I'm rarely at a loss for words...so why do my blogs continually stagnate?

  1. I don't have a special set of skills. It's true and it's not like it's really a big deal: I have no skill sets that would qualify me to have any kind of informative blog. I have a lot of interests, and tend more toward that old adage, "jack of all trades, master of none." So, if there were a skill I'd be tempted to share, there are already people out there doing a much better job than I could ever hope to. So I'm left with a blog about personal experiences or opinions. Annnnnddddd...
  2. I'm not sure I want to contribute to the noise. There are a lot of voices out there. A lot of wrong and right and somewhere-in-between voices. I'm not convinced that, despite having opinions on a grand number of things, I really want to contribute to the noise. Even if I did, I'm not sure that what I have to say is what needs (or wants) to be heard. Besides...
  3. I don't want to be misunderstood. This is kind of a big one for me (so of course it's the one I'm going to write the least about). It's something I'm still trying to figure out, too. Misunderstandings lead to conflict and I hate conflict. And the internet is rife with misunderstanding. 
So...

I don't know if I'll ever post more often or not. Or if I'll eventually give it up altogether.
