The Struggles of Daily Blogging and Why I Do It

January 5, 2022 Cassandra Morgan

I’m not going to lie. Blogging every single day is difficult. And there are a variety of reasons why it’s difficult. Sometimes it’s a time thing, sometimes it’s a topic thing. Let me tell you about the struggles I have and why I continue to do it.

My biggest struggle with daily blogging is going to get filed under “Laziness,” even though it isn’t really laziness. See, in addition to writing this blog, I work a full time job. Sometimes I don’t want to run over to my computer to write a review or blog post after logging off of work. Sometimes I want to sit on my couch and play games on my cell phone or watch a movie with my family. It usually takes me around an hour to write one blog post. That doesn’t include the time it takes for me to find or create a graphic to use on the post. As a result, the blog gets put on the back burner. I try my best to combat this feeling by writing a stack of posts at once that I can schedule throughout the week. Of course, that means getting the gumption to write a number of posts at once. It really is a vicious circle.

Once I get over the “Lazy” problem, the next struggle is finding something I want to write about. Sure, I can write a review every single day. I watch a lot of movies and a lot of television shows. I could easily talk about any of those. However, I’m not sure I want the blog to only be reviews. Would that be interesting to people? Would someone keep coming back to read what I think about various movies or whatnot? Despite the fact that a majority of my professional writing has been reviews, it feels like a cop out to only write reviews. But maybe I’m being too hard on myself. If I write it, they will come, right?

So, if blogging is such a chore, why do I do it? Well, I really do love writing. If I didn’t have to work an outside job full time (ugh, money), I would gladly write all day every day. While I did pooh-pooh a bit on reviews earlier, I love watching a show or listening to an album and telling people my opinions. Yes, it feels like a chore sometimes but once I sit down and let the words start to flow, I feel….well, I feel like myself. Like this is something I should be doing with my life. Like this is what I was meant to do. It’s a shame that I let “real life” get in the way of the things I thoroughly enjoy. That sounds like a New Year’s Resolution….

I turn to you, my audience, for some feedback. Do you like my reviews? Would you like to see me review more things? Not just movies but television series or music albums or maybe alternate reality games (ARGs)? Leave me a comment telling me if I am heading the right direction or am I just yelling into a void. I need to hear more than just my own voice echoing back at me. I appreciate it!
