The Struggling Blogger

I am contemplating again.

Yes, I am getting the itch again to start another blog. Not just one blog, by the way, but two blogs. I’ve been trying to brush it off, but the more I try to fight it, the itch becomes even more persistent.

One blog has been in the planning stage since October of last year. I’ve been delaying it, because I am not sure if I can keep up with one more blog.

The other one just popped up in my mind after the holidays, and it seems to be the one who has the stronger urge. In fact, I have already bought a domain name for it. Sadly though, the .com version of it was already taken, so I have to settle with the .net version of the domain name.

The way it looks, it seems like the second one is already a “go” with it already having domain name. It’s just a matter of “when,” or until I can really convince myself that I can maintain the said blog.

The first one actually is a photo blog, therefore doesn’t really need much text, so maybe I can keep it… or can I?

Anyway, they are still in the pipeline. Hopefully, by next week it’s either they’re already up or will not see daylight at all.

Two weeks ago, I was very much depressed. Because this blog, together with 4 of my other blogs, seemed to be hacked.

They won’t load, but instead would just show blank screen, with the message “Redirecting” to some sites (which I can’t remember) at the status bar below.

I didn’t know what to do. I am close to clueless when it comes to HTMLs and techie matters. I asked my friends who knew technical stuffs, and yet even them can’t find any errors in my blogs’ source codes.

The blogs would even load just fine on some of my friends’ computers, while some would also get the same blank screen.

At some point, I think I was even cursing. Why waste such talents in destroying others’ joy?

I am The Struggling Blogger… not because I am struggling merely to survive, but I am surviving amidst all these struggling.

I am a survivor… I have been put down so many times, yet still, I thrive.

I am a dreamer… and while I dream, I work to reach those dreams.

I am an inspiration… I touched lives not because I performed miracles, but because I believe in miracles.

I am an author… not because I am a good writer, but because I share my heart, my soul… my life.

Last January, I laid out my goals and plans for this year. Yes, they seem to be quite realistic at the time. But as it turned out, most were not realized - in the time frame they were supposed to be at least.

So here I am, trying to revisit these goals and what have become of them so far.

I was supposed to do this “revisiting my goals” thing at the half of the year, except that I have waited for some developments and see if they can add sanity to the goals I set when I was still starry-eyed.
