A blog about my life with rheumatoid arthritis and all that goes along with it. The ups and downs. The highs and lows. The laughter and the tears. Sounds so dramatic, doesn't it?!

The Fear of Hitting "Publish" (#NHBPM Day 4)
The topic today is "What happens when you press "publish"? I know that the minute I press publish, I have a momentary panic. I have a fear that I have sent a blog post to a bunch of people (some I know and some I don't) that doesn't have the correct photo or the words spelled correctly! I preview the post many times before I press publish.
I worry will they like it? Will it be funny? Will it be informative? Am I whining? Will it be too gross? Will they get sick of hearing about my dogs? Am I complaining too much? Am I upbeat?
I probably spend too much time rereading and editing. Sometimes I hit publish and then I find a mistake and go back and edit it. I very rarely hit publish in a relaxed state. I guess this is my desire for perfection. My Type-A personality.
I do have to say that I am really happy writing this blog. I have not regretted it for one minute. No matter what, I will continue to write about my dogs!

I think we all hesitate before the publish button. I have some posts sitting to be finished and I have no doubt one of these days I am going to publish the wrong one :-O
ReplyDeleteYou go right ahead and write about your dogs! Personally, I love reading what people have to say about their pets AND about themselves. I've enjoyed all your posts so far. Keep writing, and I'll keep reading. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Wren and Deb! It is good to hear other people have the same fear when the push the BUTTON. I am happy others like to hear about my pups. They have had such an awful medical time of it this year. I can't help but feel bad for them! Thanks for the comments! Good to hear someone is out there...
