Finding the Time and Space to Blog*
While many people dream of having their own blog, relatively few achieve it. It’s not that it’s so hard to set up a blog; it’s more about finding the time and space needed to keep it up until it gains momentum. Once you find an audience and your blog starts being a bit more interactive, motivation gets a little easier because you feel like someone is listening to what you have to say.
