I actually just started to blog (somewhat) consistently. Right now I'm posting something about once a month. It's very early days still. The catalyst for me was deciding that I was going to publish writings exclusively about my interest in literature. Philosophy, books reviews, interesting ideas, etc. This helped me to focus. Before, I was vague about what I would blog about. It's an exercise in thinking out loud about an interest of mine and organizing my thoughts. I know most people don't read blogs. It's for me. I've wanted to blog for years but never did. There were a few reasons. I was unreasonably concerned with originality. You have to accept that you're probably not going to write something that's never been said before. That's fine. It's about exercising your cognitive muscles and expressing yourself. I also thought that everything I published had to be philosophically profound. I set the bar way too high. Now, if I think something is cool or interesting, regardless of how niche it is, that's reason enough to blog about it. Who cares! You have to free yourself from that sort of stuff. It does nothing but hinder your natural impulse to do something creative.
