And I thought I was compulsive. After reading this article in the NY Times about people who blog obsessively<\/a>, my own blogging habits seem rather pedestrian in comparison. I’m not sure how these people manage to write so much; sometimes I spend a good half hour staring at a blank screen trying to think of an interesting topic for an entry. I could probably make things easier on myself by simply chronicling my daily routine: got up, went to work, sat in meetings, came home, wrote, etc. But I don’t think that would make for compelling reading material. I’ve even flirted with the idea of taking an extended vacation from blogging and coming back fresh a few months later. But like I said, I’m compulsive. Once I start something, I feel the need to stick with it until it’s done. And blogging is something that you never finish, so you can see my dilemma. I don’t think blogging will ever consume my life as it does with some of the people mentioned in the Times article. Even I need to get away from the computer after a while and there’s only so many interesting things a person can say in one day.
