I am beginning to wonder about my future as a blogger. Astute readers will have noticed that each day I have a potential excuse for not doing a real post: Middle-aged Musings Monday, Tired Tuesday, Wuss-out Wednesday, Non-Sequitur Thursday, Lame Post Friday, and Wrist to Forehead Sunday (yes, my week begins on Monday. Doesn’t yours?).
Ooh, look at that, I left out Saturday. I enjoy to do Running Commentary Saturday, but I consider Running Commentary to be a real post. In fact, it takes a good deal of effort, because for Running Commentary I do, in fact, run. But we all know I do not scruple to do a foolish post on a Saturday. It just doesn’t have a name.
When I first started Middle-aged Musings Monday, I actually did write a post most of the time. By “write a post” I mean I hand wrote a rough draft, usually while on a break at work, which I later typed into the computer, often with some amount of editing. However, as time goes on, I often find myself blogging off the cuff, sitting at the computer, typing off the top of my head and hoping for the best.
Sometimes it works out pretty good. I write something fairly amusing, fellow bloggers reward me by hitting the “Like” button, and we all drive on. Sometimes I sit here and say, “Oh dear, what in the world am I going to put?”
Guess which type of day today is.
In any case, I usually end by craving your indulgence and hoping to do better in the future, sometimes citing actual posts I hope to write. In fact, today I began a rather fun post about a cheesy movie I saw and I do still intend to write about a couple of Mohawk Valley adventures I had.
I guess my musing for today is to ask myself, is this an OK way to run a blog? And I guess my answer is, it’ll have do do for now, because this is all i got.
Hope to see you all on Tired Tuesday.

You’re not alone. Try to enjoy yourself, blogging is meant to be fun, not a chore! Take care! 🙂
You are so right. In general I enjoy my blog very much. It’s just sometimes when I feel I have done too many silly posts I start to feel self-conscious about writing another one. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Exactly! Blogging is a fun way to get your ideas out there. You don’t need to write everyday, sometimes I only write once every two weeks! If you put on content your audience wants to read and interact with them on a daily basis you will be fine.

When I started writing the blog I thought I would write every day for one year then re-assess. Now I just don’t want TODAY to be the day I don’t write a post. Actually, I usually like posting every day, and I kind of use it as an excuse for writing a few silly ones. Thanks for the comment
