I recognise elements of all three points you made as things which prevent me from posting as often as I might like. I also worry about my writing ability - my posts often seem clunky and awkward when I read them later, and ironically, the comparison is made worse by all the writers' blogs I read. I also worry about saying something about a serious topic off the top of my head, and getting flamed (or worse, quietly thought of as an idiot) for not doing my research, and this is made worse by all the clever, well-read and well-researched people I read. Clearly I need to be more selfish, and remember that my LJ is all about me, me, me !
