The Brave Blogger

A short but sweet post - about blogging.
Now that I have a personal blog, and I'm trying my hardest to update it regularly, I constantly think of ideas to write about. All the time. They sometimes come into my brain then go right back out again as they get lost in the shuffle of all the other things that are going on in there.
Other times, they stick. They eat at me, begging to be written out. Sometimes I just sit down knowing I need to come up with something and that's when it finally presents itself.
Other times I need to get it out, but I'm scared.
I never realized how "brave" bloggers have to be. Especially bloggers that write personal blogs. The blogger has to be able to throw it all out there and not be scared about who "might" read it, or whether or not someone will be offended by their opinion. I have many times wanted to write about something going on in my life and how I am reacting to the situation, then I stop and I don't write. I worry about who might read it and how they might feel and will I come off looking like the bad guy.
I have strong opinions. But it's hard to be brave and put it out there when you're too scared about what everyone else will think about you. That situation at work that you want to blog about. The altercation with the family member or friend. It's a strange feeling, trying to find the courage to write. New to me. I'm so used to writing about impersonal things, reporting on just the facts.
I will try to be more brave. Do you blog? How do you push through these types of blocks. I'm a newbie, fill me in!
