1. Bloggers doom themselves with overly optimistic expectations.
2. Novels begin to seem a much better way to get famous quickly.
Once upon a time, on a dark and stormy night, in a land far, far away, in the best of times and the worst of times, there was a potential blogger who really wanted to make it big; but something was off... her laptop. And also her over-the-top-cliche radar.
3. Many don’t have any sort of inkling of what they would like to say beyond the fact that they want to write a blog.
4. Blogs tend to be a lot longer than facebook statuses.
Post One: I saw a cow walking up the road today as I drove home.
Post Two: David Archuleta is going on a Mission!
Post Three: Love comes at a heavy price... but that only reflects its true value.
Post Four: Isn’t Comic Sans a great font?
5. Perhaps the most important reason: Most bloggers don’t have the rapier-sharp wit required to keep the kind of broad audience that we do.
