It's really tempting, after you get a taste of the traffic, to try and write something with mass appeal every day.

That takes a long time and a lot of dedication. |
I realized I was starting to place too much stress on myself to write a good article.
But, since my blog isn't my mainstay, I've decided it should remain my pleasure, not my pain.
