I can yammer on all day about this mechanic or that mechanic but I don't think anyone cares to read it. I'm not sure I care to read it! People seem to prefer when I talk about something else like a personal experience in game. I enjoy writing those! Yes, I think it might be the stagnation or the slow movement.

If you're not enjoying *random aspect of blogging/gaming/whatever*, why bother with it? This is a hobby, not something you're paid to do (I think). Also, design talk tends to circle around some common topics anyway, and the genre as a whole is pretty stagnant, completely ignoring these bloggish design conversations. May as well find something else that sparks your interest. Yup, just have fun. If you’re not enjoying *random aspect of blogging/gaming/whatever*, why bother with it?

When I wrote Fires of War, what burnt me out was feeling like I had to write all the time about things I really didn't feel like talking about. Blogging became a grind. What you're talking about is a good way to go. Keep it fun for you, people will come and go, and, no matter what, you'll have your set audience that will branch out.
