Lately I have started quite a few blog posts but they’ve
only been half-thought out. So I come back to work on them, and instead of
becoming clearer in my mind, they simply grow and morph into so many different
points and thoughts and ideas I have no idea what I originally started out to
say, let alone how to go about breaking these ever-growing well-written mind-dumps
(I honestly can’t think of a better word to describe these pieces of writing)
into individual blog posts. I have an idea yet somehow it gets lost in the next
one and the next one, leading me to become confused. And if the writer is
confused I have no doubt that unleashing these semi-formed monsters onto the
interwebs would possibly detract from everything else out there, let alone
actually add to it.
As a blogger I know I want to create meaningful pieces, and
thoughtful pieces, and the occasional random observation to share as posts. But
as a writer (and being me) I want to explore ideas and concepts and words. So
far there shouldn’t be a problem, but once I get started on the exploring my
hands run away with it (via typing, as opposed to my fingers running akin to
the hand in Addam’s Family) and anything meaningful or thoughtful or
observational gets lost in the pathway to wherever I might be heading – it doesn’t
help that I haven’t got there yet so can’t even backtrack, but I have a feeling that if I were to wait,
I wouldn’t get there til my last breath which is leaving it a little late to
start working out what the heck is/has/will/was go through my mind.
If I continue typing there is a very high chance this will
end up just like the other posts I’ve started in the past few weeks, meaning I’ll
never get to share it as I’ll be too busy getting lost under the deluge of
words. So, just this once, I’m taking a breath and posting without
reconsidering or pondering or generally continuing it into infinity, just so you
know I haven’t forgotten you, my lovely readers, I’m simply trying to divide
the masses of material I’ve suddenly acquired into something remotely
understandable. (If you have any tips on
how to do this, I’d love to read them in the comments.)

At least you are putting something in writing. I will compose a blog, and it's perfect, but never get to writing it. What are we gonna do? LOL Just keep being ourselves.
