Signs you’ve been blogging too much

Nice list over on Darren’s blog of signs you need a break from your blog. But I’ll add:

#9: you blog about blogging.
#10: you attack an A-lister by saying he’s an echo-chamber enabler and only writes to get on TechMeme.
#11: you say “TechCrunch this” and “TechCrunch that.”
#12: you go to Twitter and write “I’m blogging.”
#13: you tell your boss you aren’t merely reading blogs, you’re doing customer research.
#14: you have taken your son to so many blogger meetups that he starts his own blog to protest.
#15: you know the CPMs of a dozen other bloggers’ ads.
#16: when you say “Nick” “Om” “Mike” “Shelley” everyone around you knows who you are talking about.

    #15 makes me laugh. I can remember you calculating my CPM in your head at the Aussie bar.

    Signs it Might Be Time to Take a Break from Blogging

    Darren Rowse at Problogger list “8 signs that it might be time to take a break from blogging”. I can relate to some of them. It seems every time I do something I wonder if I could be blogging it.

  4. Darren says:

    God, my problem is the opposite – I blog too infrequently! My little blog over there is just a source of guilt, right now.

    Heh, I’ve definitely done about half the things on that list.

    And now I have the urge to blog about your blogging list but I’m going to resist (since that falls under the banner of blogging about blogging).

    Oh dear, I was about to blog about blogging this morning.
    You’ve put me off now.
    But then I had to mention your post as to why I wasn’t blogging!
    So is that a post about blogging or about not blogging?
