Is the Stress of Blogging Literally Killing You?
Posted by Justin Smith at 8 April, 2008, 4:05 pmI found this short little article interesting: Blogging As Fast As We Can
It’s a story about how 2 prominent bloggers died recently because of heart attacks supposedly directly related to stress. I feel that! I know I haven’t been blogging regularly in the last couple months, but I have definitely been at that place where I’m up at 3 in the morning stressing about getting a post published on a certain topic before someone else does.
I read an article the other day in Wired about the rivalry between Gizmodo and Engadget, and it’s just incredible to see what some of these “professional” bloggers are doing to get ahead. The speed at which these guys can publish content is mind boggling. It puts traditional journalism to shame…. but at what price?

In my blog world, I don’t have the stress of the competition these others have. I’m actually the only serious real estate blogger in my town, and others would have a long way to go to catch up. For me, blogging is actually something I do that relaxes me, since I enjoy writing. I’ve gotten my subdivision reports down to a method that allows quick and easy publication.
As a blogger, I do feel a lot of stress. It mostly comes from not knowing what to write and then trying to force something out in the form of a post. I guess you need to be more natural and write when things “come to you”
It is hard work coming up with stories and articles to keep your blog up to date - this is why I decided to write my blog as a diary… not my diary, but based on our clients stories (obviously without their details) I think this works really well, as when I get an interesting client I do a case study and post it on my blog!
There is competitions everyhwere and bloggers are not outside the queue as well. It’s all about like be the NO. 1 in publishing interesting stuffs and people will read. If people goes by this concept for long, they are to bog down for sure at certain point of time.
I always find some time to get a good blog post to appear in my blog. So be cool while blogging
It’s not really about blogging as much as you can…and creating stress in you life. It’s about sharing what you enjoy and creating value in the lives of other people.
