#62My blog is only about my SaaS and, after writing all I had to say about it, I realised that my new ideas were repetitive, so I decided to pause a bit.

#63I wrote and made collection of stuff, but literally nobody read in last few years. Realized blogging (or making anything on the web) comes with a lot of marketing. Hence found text files to be better for note to oneself.

#64Just don't find the time. I use emacs as my editor and it's slighty limiting where I can write my thoughts quickly.

#65Afraid people will read my blog. I enjoy blogging but it is like a journal. It helps me think. A private journal might work but I tend to ramble on in private journal. A blog makes me want to write a bit more concise. But I am afraid my friends will find it and may make fun of me. I still write but not as openly as I want to.
If people make fun of you when they discover your blog: these are not your friends. Real friends don't do that.

#67Even if I wrote a wildly engaging, interesting, and informative blog... who would read it? Im not about to go out and market it, so it would just sit, undiscovered, dusty, and never read by anyone but me.
