Pressure To Shine

The problem with being a serious blogger, like I'd know, right, is that you have to have something to say, something wise, alluring, in short, something worth saying. What if you don't? Easy, then don't blog. But why, I ask you, have a blog, if you are not blog-worthy? Too many questions.
The very format of a blog is curious to me in the first place. It is, I think, a diary. Traditionally, one kept a secret diary to store thoughts and impressions, for some reason. I don't know, I never kept a diary. I had running logbooks, astronomy log books, but not personal diaries. I read the Diary of Samuel Peeps, which is a treasure trove of insights from his time, so pivotal in English history, but I doubt my blog can equal that charge. So why diary (a new verb people, like to party, or to blog, for that matter)? Well, I do wish to explicate my writings, so there's a reason. Also, in the fullness of time, I would like to cull out a cadre of kindred spirits to befriend. I plan on writing as long as the Good Lord allows, and to attend conferences/Cons, so a group of chums would be nice.
We'll see.
In any case, welcome again, and I promise not to examine inquisitively my navel any longer, well, not too much, OK?
