I’m always amazed at people who blog daily.  It’s a huge commitment and while I keep saying I’m going to do it, a few days go by and I start feeling guilty about missing days.  I was catching up on reading one of my favorite blogs yesterday (Penelope Trunk’s Brazen Careerist) and I was so inspired. It had been a while since I was there and I caught up on some recent posts, then revisted her guide to starting a blog.  She admits it’s hard to blog regularly even for those people for whom it seems so effortless.  I really admire her writing style — she’s so open and honest and seems to easily write about whatever it is that’s going on in her life at that moment.  I read that and wonder why I can’t do the same.  I worry about maintaining a balance between writing about marketing and personal topics.   I worry about this blog turning into too many personal topics and not enough “professional” topics (in other words, things that will help me make a name for myself and hopefully help me advance in my career).  I’ll admit, I have a tendency to worry too much about what others think and I’d be better off channeling those worries in ways that are more beneficial.  So maybe I’m worrying about all of that a little too much and I should take Penelope’s lead.  As she says, pick a topic and if it doesn’t work, then change it.

OK, let’s see where this blog goes…
