Wayne Hurlbert from Blog Business World has a thought-provoking post in which suggests taking a day off from reading other blogs from time to time (say, one or two days per week.) Note that he doesn’t say one shouldn’t blog on his/her own during those days.
It’s certainly an interesting suggestion, as a regular blogger can start to depend too much on other blogs for “inspiration”, and reach a state where everything he posts is “so and so said…” (oops, this is one :)) or, maybe, a comment on a current subject that every other related blog is also commenting on.
Therefore, if you “cut yourself” from the rest of the blogging world, and just post what comes to mind, or something you’ve been wanting to write about for a while, or just something you discovered in a way other than reading other blogs… that’s a way to ensure some original content.
It’s certainly something to think about.
