I’m over at Nic’s blog today, talking about the current feel of the blogosphere and explaining why she’s decided to take a break from it all.
You can head over there to see what mildly profound things I had to say. Or not.

Insert Something Witty Here
I’m seeing this more and more.
The feeling of ‘I wanted to say something, but couldn’t come up with anything witty to say, so I didn’t say anything at all’.
I’m guilty of this.
I’ve typed many a tweet and blog comment and then just before hitting that post button, I’ve deleted it because I didn’t feel it added anything to the conversation.
And I find myself doing that more and more. This self-censoring.
But why do we put such pressure on ourselves? Why does everything we write have to be just perfect, better than the other persons comment, tweet, whatever ?
Honestly, I’m happy to have any blog comment. Even if it’s just one that says ‘hey I was here and I liked this post’.
I don’t ever read my comments or tweets and think ‘Wow…why did they even bother writing that?’.
To me it doesn’t matter if what someone has written is witty, smart, funny, profound.
What matters more is that they felt it was worth taking the time to comment or reply at all. And that means a lot.
