It's difficult for me to pinpoint exactly when I lost the confidence to maintain my blog.
When I look back on a number of my posts and the struggle to keep my content new and interesting, I find that I was never happy with anything I wrote here. “180 Degrees of 314.00” had become a job; one that provided no financial incentive, fame, or enjoyment. After just six months into the blog, I had already lost faith in myself as an aspiring writer.
I was going about it the wrong way, and now it's time to get back to basics.
I want to be able to express my life goals and accomplishments on this site as if I was speaking to my best friends, not as is if I was writing a New York Times Best Seller. I think a new post on the first and second Friday of every month will not be too overwhelming for me.
The only way to improve my writing is to first acknowledge that not everything I create is going to be a masterpiece.
Fail, and fail often.
Through constant failure there is success.
