On Blogging

[Blogging] is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

The most essential gift for a good [blogger] is a built-in, shock-proof shit detector.

When I was writing pretty poor [blog posts], this girl with midnight black hair told me to go on.

Either [blog] something worth reading or do something worth [blogging].

To survive, you must [blog] stories.

A good [blogger] possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.

There is no rule on how to [blog]. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly: sometimes it’s like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold [blog draft] inside you.

People do not deserve to have good [blogging], they are so pleased with bad.

If I don’t [blog] to empty my mind, I go mad.

You should [blog] because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. [Blogging] comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to [blog].

[Blogging] is a struggle against silence.

[Blogging] is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I [blog] for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight.

The only thing I was fit for was to be a [blogger], and this notion rested solely on my suspicion that I would never be fit for real work, and that [blogging] didn’t require any.

Writing a [blog post] is like dropping a rose petal down the Grand Canyon and waiting for the echo.

When [a post] can be read without effort, great effort has gone into its [blogging].

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from [your blog]; figure out what you have to say. It’s the one and only thing you have to offer.

If you wait for inspiration to [blog] you’re not a [blogger], you’re a waiter.

There are three rules for [blogging] the [work]. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

There is nothing to [blogging]. All you do is sit down at a [computer] and bleed.

And by the way, everything in life is [bloggable] about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

[Blogging] means sharing. It’s part of the human condition to want to share things – thoughts, ideas, opinions.

My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. [Blogging] isn’t like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With [blogging], the way you feel changes everything.

I feel like I’m too busy [blogging] history to read it.

If there’s a [blog post] that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.

Let me live, love, and [blog] it well in good sentences.

Writing a [blog] is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.

To produce a mighty [blog], you must choose a mighty [Wordpress] theme.

Find out the reason that commands you to [blog]; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to [blog].

[Blogging] is its own reward.

If you can tell stories, create characters, devise incidents, and have sincerity and passion, it doesn’t matter a damn how you [blog].

A [blogger] is someone who can make a riddle out of an answer.

Somewhere along the way one discovers that what one has to [blog] is not nearly as important as the [blogging] itself.

There’s no such thing as [blogger’s] block. That was invented by people in California who couldn’t [blog].

I am irritated by my own [blogging]. I am like a violinist whose ear is true, but whose fingers refuse to reproduce precisely the sound he hears within.

If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to [blog]. Simple as that.

Anecdotes don’t make good [blog posts]. Generally I dig down underneath them so far that the [post] that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.

[Blog] the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.

[Blogging] is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.

[The Blogosphere] is like a stew. If you don’t stir it up every once in a while then a layer of scum floats to the top.

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn’t brood. I’d [blog] a little faster.

All the words I use in my [blog posts] can be found in the dictionary—it’s just a matter of arranging them into the right sentences.

I have never started a [blog post] yet whose end I knew. Writing a [post] is discovering.

You can make anything by [blogging].

The best time for planning a [blog post] is while you’re doing the dishes.

The role of a [blogger] is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say.

[Blogging] is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.

I [blog] to discover what I know.

[Blogging] became such a process of discovery that I couldn’t wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say.

Get it [posted]. Take chances. It may be bad, but it’s the only way you can do anything really good.

Writing [blog posts] is super intimate. It’s a bit like getting naked.

Being a good [blogger] is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the [Internet].

The purpose of a [blogger] is to keep civilization from destroying itself.

[Blogging] is my time machine, takes me to the precise time and place I belong.

You must stay drunk on [blogging] so reality cannot destroy you.

Not that the [blog post] need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short.

I try to create sympathy for my [blog readers], then turn the monsters loose.

Anyway these are my humours, my opinions: I give them as [blog posts] which I believe, not as things to be believed. My aim is to [b;log] my own self, which may well be different tomorrow if I am initiated into some new business which changes me. I have not, nor do I desire, enough authority to be believed. I feel too badly taught to teach others.

We [blog] to remember our nows later.

I can’t [blog] five words but that I change seven.

Writing [blog posts] is the closest men ever come to childbearing.

If you want to be a [blogger], you must do two things above all others: read a lot [of posts] and [blog] a lot.

You have to write the [blog post] that wants to be written. And if the [blog post] will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.
