To Write or not to Write…That is the question!

What does it take to write one blog post per week? Seriously! Dedication?  A love for writing or maybe being able to transfer your thoughts to paper in a style that is simply unforgettable? 

Well, as far as I am concerned, it takes all of the above and much more.  You see, I love to write.  As a matter of a fact, it used to be one of my best assets. Yes, I use to write to my heart’s content and more.  That was something that I really enjoyed.  Use to loose myself in the beauty of the word, and how a well turned sentence could have so much power.

With time, and the power word here is “time”, I lost the taste for writing, forgot to create a space in my life where I would communicate my thoughts to paper.  Somehow, “I got in the way” and forgot how gratifying it was in itself.

I mean, look at the state of my poor blog posts.  Three, that’s it.  Three blog post in the matter of what… Two years?  Do I have any excuses?  Can I hide my head in the sand and pretend it will al l go away?  Well, maybe I could, if my job was not so attached to the internet!

Again, why does one write a blog post, if not to promote themselves, their services and everything that is attached to their online business?  Honestly, I’m the first one to tell my customers that they have to write, and write some more if they want to promote their business….and look what I do?

Excuses?  I only have one, and this is called “working with awesome customers that keep me very busy!”  Do you like my excuse?  It’s the truth!  And yes, this is the only reason that I will admit to!  With this said, could I take an hour or so per weekend and update my blog?  Yes, yes, I could.  And Yes, I will.

Now, don’t go thinking that this is a 2012 resolution thing.  Nope, if I do that, I will never keep up with it.  I just know it.  To be nice, let’s call it a “Goal” and let’s put aside all the excuses I could muster up like…

Come to think about it, this last excuse is pretty lame. Why?  The ‘busy’ thing is what I do for a living.  It’s my passion, my everyday adventure.  It’s Virtual Managing Associates, it’s my business.  So, where’s the problem in writing about what I know so well?

I think I’ve settled the issue in one sentence. There are no excuses, only time not well taken.

Now, if only I could put this into words…
