Excellent article and i also have expressed my view on this subject at http://www.abhijitkar.com/life/dilemma-of-a-blogger-what-to-write.html and hope you guys like it.

It’s based on 8 months of hard working to establish a blog with a PR 3/10 now, and Alexa rating of around 2,00,000 as on date.

Great article! I tweaked a few things on one of my blogs based on this–and yes, I added a picture.

Oh, and I have to say it: I’m a fan of Zen Habits. Leo Babauta rocks!

This is a tough one for me. I suspect you’re right but my life is truly hell on earth so I keep almost my entire present personal life off my blog. If it’s personal, it’s usually about the past.

This is because I have an undiagnosable progressive disease that’s extremely unpleasant. I’ve literally been unable to leave the house at all in nearly five years – too fragile. I’m now mostly bedridden. My life day to day is a draining struggle with my body and a health care system that doesn’t care.

It’s actually amazing I’m not dead yet, and looked at rightly, my situation would be inspiring – almost awe inspiring. I don’t really know exactly how I keep going myself anymore.

But to go into detail is to put people off. People understandably generally like happy news and not a guy who’s constantly getting sicker. “Cry and you cry alone” applies even when you’re not crying and it’s just a bad situation that won’t go away.

That post made me feel like I know you. Thanks for writing that. I do highly appreciate when bloggers don’t put up a front or a show or whatever and actually open up about themselves and their lives’.

Thanks for the great post, Glen.

Oops, don’t mind me. Just re-read your comment on Elizabeth Gilbert; you said she’s not a blogger; that probably means she doesn’t have a blog. That’s too bad ‘cuz it’d be awesome!

GREAT post, thx! I wish you’d included links to the blogs you wrote about. I’ve just spent 10 minutes (a lifetime in internet time, eh?) searching for Elizabeth Gilbert’s blog (I recently read her book and loved it) and have yet to find it. Not giving up, though. I like your blog and will follow it.

Thx again,

I really resonated with this article because I too struggle with grammar. While I have always loved to write, my grammar has been a major weakness of mine. I have found however, the more I write the better my writing becomes. It’s so sad to know that so many people give up their gift of writing just because their grammar needs a bit of work. Sure grammar is important, but what really matters is your ability to convey your idea in words.

You continue to be an inspiration in my life Glen.

Thanks.
