1) fear I have nothing to say
2) fear I have too much to say, and that it is all narcissistic, unfocused and boring
I think the concept of blogs scares me in the same way that polishing my resume does--it's in the same realm of 'look at me! aren't I great?!'
However, I have recently found myself craving a creative outlet like never before. Taking a break from a career that I'm good at but don't love, and being a mother which I love, but am not yet sure I'm good at, has left me...um...looking for some balance. I've never been good at balance, but it's always good to strive for, right? Hence: Wobbly Balance.
I've also held back from the world of weblogs because I hoped to hit upon a theme--something that would tie the blog together and keep it out of the realm of "today I had a ham sandwich for lunch" writing. Well, I think I'm too scattered to be thematic. So, no real theme here, at least not yet. Isn't that more balanced anyway?

Theme schmeme. I say write all you want. It's cathartic. It's fun. Don't make it too precious. And yes, it is about you. But your readers probably like to hear about you, that's why we're reading this! :)
(hope the advice isn't too unsolicited.)
