The blogging itch
I got an email from a reader describing the feeling of blogging as having “the itch, whether or not others read it”.
The itch. I think that’s such a great way to put it. Like not blogging isn’t really an option, unless you’re okay with constantly feeling itchy.
I have quit blogging more than once, but I’ve always ended up coming back to it. Even if I’ve never thought about it that way before, I think what’s brought me back every time has been the itch.
There’s so much more to blogging than just writing posts.
It’s a way to learn more about yourself and others. It puts things into perspective. It’s hard to beat as a creative outlet, in so many different ways.
I’m sure I’ll quit blogging again. But next time I’ll call it pausing instead, because I know the itch will return.
