When to Let Your Blog Go Off-Topic
The Best Way to Get Over Your Blog Embarrassment
I have a confession: It’s not easy for me to talk about my blog.
Even after years of blogging, I still have to muster the courage to continue the conversation when the topic of “so, you have a blog?” arises.

So I came up with a balanced compromise: I’ll write a blog post about this.

After almost five years, I think it’s safe to say that I’m a blogger. Not a famous one and not a paid one—nevertheless, I’m still a blogger.
I’ve been asked over the years why I keep doing it. They ask, “If you’re not getting paid, then why waste your time?”
