1. I keep a percolating list of subjects -- writing fiction (SF&F), movies/books, philosophy (Zen in particular) -- and whenever I get a seed for a post, I just write down a blurb of it as a draft and then expand on it later. I may have more ideas than I can do justice to at any one time, but that's part of how the gears keep turning: there's never a shortage of material. 2. I started blogging a long time ago -- more than 20 years, really -- but I was highly scattershot for a long time, and I'm not proud of a lot of the material I put out until about a decade or so ago. Focusing on a few topics of deep personal interest helped. 3. See last sentence of #2. 4. My biggest struggle was not feeling like I had nothing to offer anyone in terms of insight or whatnot. Eventually, I decided whatever it was that was mine would be more than enough. https://www.genjipress.com https://www.genjipress.com
