The art of blogging still exists but finding truly creative, original blogs can take time. Sometimes blog writers themselves look at the “blogscape” and wonder why they even bother anymore. If a blogger writes from the heart, does anyone care?
When is it time to stop writing? Where do you get ideas to keep on going? How many posts is too much or not enough? Is there a reason for producing blogs other than being placeholders for ads or self promotion? Do people get any personal satisfaction from reading certain blogs?
Did marketing remove artistic expression?

I swore you read my mind on this one. I had that feeling this morning, coming back from 2 hour 1000 visitor rush from a post that was stumbled upon a few days ago. The first thought, how do you follow up on that, or are you disappointed when every post doesn’t hit the mark.
It’s time like that you just keep going, take a deep breathe, go for a walk and start fresh. You are definitely on to something with this one, but as we are all subjected to moods, people do take notice and they do appreciate the hard work that goes into being on the vanguard of the cutting edge, even if we cannot appreciate our own work from fatigue.

I’ve always wondered what keeps active bloggers going – especially when their blogs turns into their day job. Personally, I like the idea of having several different types of blogs and doing it for a living, but as you stated, you will eventually tire out at some point. The thread on the forum should be very interesting.
