Bloated Blogging

I’m finding it a little hard to keep up with the blogging. How do professional bloggers do it? Maybe they don’t have jobs or lives…?

Sometimes I wonder if we depend too much on these blogs to connect us to the world, to share with random people, to leave our digital footprint, to… what end?

To me, it’s like I want to share my thoughts and ideas with the world, but then I ask, WHY? Who cares? Who’s going to read these thoughts? What makes me so important or interesting? Maybe the answers are no one and nothing, but here I am writing still….

Anyway, work gets in the way of the writing I want to do. This weekend I’ve got to mark 18 essays, plus help prepare lessons and relax to rejuvenate for the upcoming week. I would say it’s a hard life, but we all know that’s not true! 😛 Still, it’s tiring and when your heart is divided between the work that is enjoyable with great benefits and work that is a passion with no guarantees, it’s hard to juggle it all.
