Sometimes the only thing that keeps a blogger going is plain bull-headedness. The determination not to be done in by a brain fog or fatigue.

Blogging doesn’t go away. It is always there. For avid bloggers, it is an awareness at all times that anything is fair game. For casual bloggers, it is the remembrance that sometime today, or tomorrow, they’ll have to come up with a topic and splatter some words onto the page.

Sometimes, you just have to write, even when the topic isn’t all that great, and even when you have nothing profound to say. Oddly, sometimes those moments when we are not profound, produce some of the most popular stuff. Other people sometimes pick up on mundanity and trivia more than they do on deep thought.

That dogged persistence is what makes you reach in deep and become a real writer. It is what makes you hone your skills, pull out something below the surface and discover a hidden quality. It is the difference between an amateur and a pro.

Dig in your heels and just do it.
