A Blogger's Headache... The Art of Blogging

Blogging is new to me.

Its also one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. My blog is supposed to deal with current events and/or trends via social networking sites, yahoo groups, and listservs. Yet there are times when a subject speaks to your heart and mind that it literally shuts everything else down. I have a feeling this is how folks who write for a living must feel at times.

I have looked at the same social networking sites and email groups that have inspired me in the past and I draw a blank. It’s frustrating because I could have written a witty blog on various Twitter trending topics like: #signstherelationshipisover, #wecoolandall and #whatsbetter.


This one topic will not let me move forward. It makes my head hurt!

If this was any old topic this entire post would be moot. Its not.

Its controversial, explosive and its one that resonates across cultural and racial lines.

Will I write about this topic?

Yes, eventually because I can’t move forward until I do. I can’t write another meaningful blog until I get this out.

What I do know right now is that in order to write and ensure that my voice is heard, I need to think and plan. Words are a powerful tool, even while blogging.

Yes this topic makes me nervous.

Not because it’s controversial but because I will be in essence speaking for those who can’t, those who choose not to and those who still live in the shadows.

So plan and write I must.

To try and do otherwise would be painful and in the end an exercise in futility.
