Comments on: Blog stage fright – I am not particularly fond of this. http://system13.org/2007/02/07/blog-stage-fright-i-am-not-particularly-fond-of-this/ Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:12:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Nils http://system13.org/2007/02/07/blog-stage-fright-i-am-not-particularly-fond-of-this/#comment-772 Nils Sun, 11 Feb 2007 08:49:43 +0000 http://system13.org/?p=262#comment-772 I haven't felt any different from day one as a 9r member. I keep thinking it was a mistake. I often think: I should post more, could I post this, what should I post instead, maybe I'll wait... It's insane. So, I try not to look for answers to these questions. Just let it happen, outside of myself almost. And then, after a while, I look back at my output for the week or so and go: oh, that all came about rather naturally, didn't it? How did I do that? In the end, I'm even reasonably happy with the results. Go figure. I haven’t felt any different from day one as a 9r member. I keep thinking it was a mistake.

Great post. That's honestly *exactly* how I feel. I'm happy with how my blog has progressed since I started it, but when I was actually accepted into 9Rules (!!!), I got slapped back a notch. I look at what a lot of the folks in the network do, and I feel like System 13 is severely lacking. Instead of grabbing the bull by the horns, I seem to have fallen into a hole, one which I'm having a hard time crawling out of. Thanks for the advice, as well as the luck! :) Cas: I read that post back when you first wrote it, but I just reread it again in full. Great post. That’s honestly *exactly* how I feel.

One of the favourite posts I ever wrote was <a href="http://brightmeadow.co.uk/2006/06/16/9rules-has-eaten-my-content/" rel="nofollow">9rules has eaten my content</a>. It took a while, but you do get it back. The advice "just write what you want" really is the best. And good luck :) Josh, you’re REALLY not alone, trust me.

I've ridden the "roller coaster" several times over the years, it comes in spurts. If it weren't for my *somewhat* consistent Eager Beavers, my site would have been bare for quite some time. I'm still going through it now, not quite the stage fright part, but the "not writing cause I've nothing to say" part. But yet, I have stuff to say, lots of it about a lot of things. Though when my fingers touch the keyboard the words don't want to flow from my brain to my fingers. But I'm pretty sure that, sooner or later, they will. They better, else I'm paying hosting and domain fees for nothing! lol I know that non of this is any real advice, I guess what I'm saying is that you're not alone. :) It’ll come back when it’s right.
