The Hardest Part of Blogging

I’ve wanted to write blog posts for a while now.  I always thought someone out there would care what I had to say.  But I’ve been stuck.  That last sentence I wrote is actually a perfect example of why I’ve been stuck, and why I have trouble expressing myself outside of my science/engineering YouTube videos; I care what people think.  I just went to Google to make sure it was okay to start a sentence with the word ‘but’.  I wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to get called out for poor grammar.

I like being an engineer and creating engineering videos.  It’s something I’m good at.  You’ll sometimes hear, “go into engineering/math/science if you like when there’s only one correct answer”.  I think the beauty of engineering is that there are multiple ways to solve the same problem, some better than others.  But it’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons of each method and present the best solution.  I try to present the best method when I create videos, the method where the viewer will learn the most and gain a deep understand of the topics.  And this is where blogging and my videos differ.  I’ll start to venture into topics of which I don’t consider myself an expert.

I’ve read articles about how to get started, what a good blog contains, and how to keep readers interested.  Adding pictures to break up the content always seems like a good idea.  I figured I would find one of those free stock image sites and search for writer’s block, and I came up with this.

Although I believe that deep down, everyone cares what other people think to a certain extent, I envy those that can fully put themselves out there.  It’s not easy being criticized, especially not for all to see.  Maybe one day I’ll get to that point.  For now, the most important thing is to get started.  This is my starting point.  Maybe my second post will be about something non-controversial, like green peppers, just to ease into it.  Here goes nothing.
