But what if i struggle to blog about what i struggle with? ;) It is a good plan. Quite often, i'll come across something that wasn't quite documented or posted about yet and it truly is a golden opportunity to blog about something unique that is useful, as well as actually help others that come across the same issue.

It seems like half of my personal journal entries all begin with "I really need to figure out how to do this more often." Haven't even tried to write one in almost two weeks. Always such a struggle. It's even worse when I try to make them public blogs, though. Haven't had one of those in many years, yet I've written about 300,000 words in my personal journal over the past 5 years. I did start work on trying to retroactively rework some as a blog, but that stalled and I never made the site public.

to take your joke in another direction, people should blog about how hard it is to learn to write well! i.e. people's blogs would be much more fun to read if they first learned how to write. OP author of the article we're reading about here is not a super great writer, but better than most and has actually learned the most important lesson of business presentation: (1) tell'em what you're gonna tell'em, (2) tell'em in more detail, and then (3) tell'em what you've told'em in summary. you can read the first paragraph of this blog post and know what it's about. If you're interested, read the rest, and if you're not, you haven't wasted your time because you got the point of it.

In the end some people enjoy writing and some don’t. Over the years I have learned how to write reasonably well but it’s still a chore for me. I envy people who enjoy writing and I see a tremendous value in writing but if you don’t enjoy it I don’t think it’s worth to force yourself.
