Self Evaluation

Sometimes I think I'm a sucky blogger, but then I remember that my blog is a Self-Blog.  It's my own and I don't owe anyone specifics posts.  I don't have to post what I think others will enjoy and I don't have to feel anxious that I haven't posted my holiday post, it's mine and if I don't blog for three months because the idea of doing it fills me with dread then I don't have to and the fact that I haven't blogged shouldn't interfere with my fiction writing (which it has).
