Blog? What blog?

So I dropped off the blog for several months. What can I say? Basically, I have issues. Even though personal blogs are supposed to be informal, it's impossible nearly impossible for me to write without agonizing. Obsessing. Over-analyzing (as in, should over-analyzing be hyphenated? I think it should--but maybe I'm wrong. Better stop to look it up.) And that's what happens only after I've spent much time deciding what is blog-worthy, and how I can write it in the most entertaining way. Oy vey, how did I get this way?

So here's the deal: I am making a monumental effort to NOT obsess about blog entries. Some entries may end up poorly organized, poorly expressed, and not all that interesting to boot. How can you resist an offer like that? But I will try to make this blog what it should be: a way to keep up with friends. I love reading my friends' blogs, and while I'll never stop comparing the entertainment value of their writing to mine (theirs always wins), I'll choose to look at my blog as an exercise in just writing without agonizing. I agonize about many things, but writing most of all. Maybe if I can learn to keep agonizing in its place...I can't think of what should go here. But I'll let it go. See?
