I'm not a "slacker", I have "newbie-paranoia"

I not a slacker...really. I want to write creative, exciting, thought provoking and inspiring posts. I want readers to go "ooooo, shes' good." I had dreams when I first started posting. I thought, "this will be easy, my life is so abby-normal that I will be able to post every day!" People will be inspired by my diligence. Shit, reality set in.

I sit down at my computer. Type, type, type, read, re-read, spell check, delete! Start again. Flip over to Shitsandgiggles post, Weatherchazer post and several others. OOO their good. Inspired again....type, type, type. GOD! You are boring AND stupid - DELETE!

Walk away, smoke cigarette get another "great" idea. The process starts again, this time I leave it.
Several days go by...No comments! God, I am boring and stupid! Call daughter. She is very reassuring.

Me: "Nobody reads my posts. Did you read it?"

Daughter: "Not yet, I'm cooking dinner, feeding beasts, yelling at hubs."

Me: "When you gonna look at it? When you do tell me what you think, nobody reads it or leaves me a comment."

Daughter: Ma, look at your counter, not everyone leaves a comment."

Me: "Why? I comment on posts I read"

Daughter: "Your new."

Newbie-paranoia! I feel like Sally Fields when she won her Oscar when I get a comment, "You like me, you really like me."

Yeah, this ones stupid too! DELETE

ok, good posts. Really, people dont leave comments, although they are reading. When delurking week arrives, (of which i'm not sure when) is when people will de-lurk and leave comments.

It is, what it is.
