How do some people do it?

I was chatting with Yex yesterday, and we were both lamenting our lack of blog activity as of late.  My motivation to blog seems to come and go.  As Seth Godin said, I think you've got to at least have a "healthy respect" for your own opinions.

I seem to have a hard time blogging about original ideas and real programming, and that's a shame.  I probably have a lot to contribute.  I've been developing applications for more than 10 years, and I've had considerable success.  Yet I still feel intimidated for some reason.  My fear is that the things I would write about would generate reactions like, "EVERYBODY knows that already" or "that is definitely the WRONG way to do that," and look like a fool.

I play the guitar.  I don't think I'm too shabby at it, either.  But, I know there are a million other guitar players out there that can put me to shame.  Maybe 2 million.  Ok, surely no more than 4 million.  The point is, I don't play very often in front of crowds because I have this fear of rejection thing going for me.  Me and the F.O.R. are pretty tight.

So... I don't really know where I'm going with all this.  Maybe I'm fishing for some encouragement or affirmation.  I'll stop wasting your time with my little pity party now... and try real hard to muster up the courage to post some of my very own ideas, no matter how pitifully insignificant and wrong they may be... ;)
