I think I know and then I come across someone else's blog and think, "What a great idea!" Of course, I can't steal their idea and since they originated it anyway, there is no way I could be as good or successful. <br/><br/>I also wonder what in the world I can do to get a real captive audience. I'm also learning that I'm not nearly as good of a writer as I thought I was (or at least as I once was), as there are so many out there that are so much better!<br/><br/>Ahh...confession is good for the soul. Thanks for the opportunity! I’ve gotta’ say that I have felt most, if not all, of these before myself.

It really should be put into perspective on how to handle a blog, and I really took this to heart because I am just starting out. This post really struck what I was thinking at the time.

I know that I jumped in way to fast with a name as well. Now, we're lost in all those "my" blogs on people's blogrolls. If you decide to change your blog's name, a post on that would be really interesting! Yup, I think I’ve made all those mistakes too! I know that I jumped in way to fast with a name as well.
