Dear Blog, We Need to Talk...

Dear Blog,

What can I say other than "I'm sorry."?  I've been cheating on you, profusely cheating, with many other social media sites.  There, I said it.  Okay?!  Wheh, much better.

Seriously, though, it seems that I take to all forms of social media, like Carrie Bradshaw to Manolo Blahniks, except for blogging.  What's the big deal anyway?  Why do so many people struggle with keeping a blog going?  Once you begin typing, it just flows... but there's that tiny matter of starting.  Blogging reminds me of the love/hate relationship many share with going to the gym: It feels a-ma-zing to finish a workout, like you're the "King/Queen of the world!" (insert classic Leo impersonation here), but getting to the gym in the first place is the real challenge.  There's always an excuse - I'm too tired... I need to send those emails... My eyelashes are sore... blah blah blah - or the classic "I'll get up early and go tomorrow morning instead."  Yeah, right.  Don't hold your breath!

Now, we're all aware of the problem, but I'm more interested in solutions.  What's your best advice for maintaining a blog and posting regularly?  Do you have any useful tips for me and the rest of the blogosphere?
