I know you know what I'm talking about. When you go read someone else's blog, and you're just like "God, why don't I write like that?" or "why is my life so boring that I don't have anything to write about?"
Okay. Well, maybe that last one was mine, but you still get the picture. We all have those blogs we want to be like- the ones that can write, the ones that always have fascinating things to post about, the ones that get all the visitors. I basically start thinking about what I'm going to post from the time I write my last blog. I never have anything interesting to say, and if I do, it never comes out in such a way as to be interesting. So, generally, I sit here with the sun glaring in my eyes from the sunrise contemplating what to write every morning. As you can imagine, that never goes well.
Why do I do it then? You know, because I just plain like it. I like writing my blog even if it's boring and no one wants to read it except my online buddies who feel the need to read it because I comment on theirs. It's good exercise especially since I'm almost a recluse and don't get much outside contact. This at least keeps my mind fresh and from me becoming completely shut off to the rest of the world. Maybe someday I will have something interesting to write, and for once, it will actually come off as interesting. But for now, I only write about blog envy and my newest piece in my shop.
My eternal flower ring that you see in the picture. (Like how I pulled that one off, huh?) Just listed it last night. I really like it, although, I might try another one with an extra row of petals. It's a sterling silver band ring with a sterling silver flower accent. I added a really clear and beautiful carnelian cabochon for accent. I like the carnelian in there, and it's just enough color. It can be found in my shop.

The best blogs to read are the ones where the person is writing *for the love* – so you've got the key :)
The petal ring is so sweet.
I agree with pepperina press.
There are so many awesome blogs out there & we all have our favourite bloggers that we aspire to, but at the end of the day it comes down to doing it for the love of it :)
& I think you're being too hard on yourself. I certainly don't find your blog boring!
Oh & hey, you just won Space Oddities 'Valentine Contest' - Woohoo! I missed out - Boohoo ;)
I echo the previous posters! I far more enjoy reading an honest blog rather than one that is just trying to be popular!
The ring came out great!
Have to agree with the 3 previous comments....you're doing great! And we have a commonality (god I long for spell check) I too, am practically a recluse living in the middle of nowhere as I do.....so the blogging is important as it help keeps us in touch with the rest of the world.
Well I'll say this entry was very well written. I sometimes feel the same way you do but then I remember that we're not here to compete with others, it's just to have fun, maybe make a few friends out of it, and share a little piece of ourselves with others. Who know where that can lead? :)
I agree with all else said before me. Just having the fortitude to put oneself out there on a blog every day is a big deal. Besides, the only boring blog is a much neglected one and yours isn't that from what I can see. Plus your pictures are top notch. :)
I just found your blog and I'm really enjoying it! But I do know what you mean about finding that one* blog.. but like anything it may be process and maybe they didn't just start up and it was an instant success?!
ps my birthday is on Easter too are you a march 23rd baby?! aries
I love that you talk a bit about your creative process. Beautiful ring...I'm alway drawn to jewelry inspired by nature!
