I have blog guilt:
blog guilt
noun
The feeling of having done wrong or failed in not getting around to read my blog friends' entries.
It's sort of like not writing thank-you notes until five years after a wedding, except worse.
About Me
- Warty Mammal
- I'm a human being between one and one hundred years old. I have a great talent for ignoring stacks of dirty dishes and random items strewn across the floor. Can't stand a dirty toilet, though. Sometimes I get riled up and write long, self-indulgent screeds. Usually I'm embarrassed about it later, and sometimes I even delete them. Try not to take anything you read in this blog too seriously.

It's terrible when something that you do as an enjoyable outlet for yourself becomes a task to complete and a source of guilt...
There is that, but in a way what's more terrible is that I've reached adulthood with the social skills of a rock. Not that that's an excuse.
I agree with Tracey. And that happened to me, I started to stress about not updating regularly and ended up worrying...then one day I just deleted it. That, I know now was a mistake, all those stories gone forever, but it was like a burst of freedom!
Since I came back, I very irregularly update my blog and tend to spend more time at other people's. I think I like it like that.
Ach, blog however you want to. Seriously. And it's not the same as not writing thank you notes for gifts - that is a genuine obligation. Reading other blogs happens as you have the time and interest, period.
(If you want to feel guilty, feel guilty about forcing me to type "uniestro" three times before I got the word verification right.)
If I start only blogging once a month will that make it easier for you? Course, then I'd feel guilty for not blogging, but that wouldn't be your problem
I have blog guilt too. I love all the bloggers I read, but these days, I get behind, and my own blogging is lagging severely.
If it makes you feel any better, I don't read your blog (anyone's for that matter) every day. I'd love to, but like seems to take over. The reading often happens when I have a bloc of time and then sit down and read through several days worth. It's actually kinda fun that way, though. I feel very indulgent. It's a bit like being able to eat the chocolate cake, and the cheesecake, and all 3 kinds of cookies all at one time. Only, of course, far less fattening!
