I have a secret. A few actually.
Sometimes I’ve written something so brilliant that I wait excitedly by the notifications, wondering who the lucky first reader will be. Although I don’t usually talk to myself in the comments about how good the writing is, except in this post, I do have some of those conversations in my head.
Another secret is that sometimes I have posters remorse so bad that I’ve published, trashed, republished, regretted, then wrote a new post because I felt guilty about how stupid the first one was, but I didn’t think it would be right to delete it again, so I hoped the first just wouldn’t get noticed.
Most of the time, I think something I write is good, but later I read it, and realize its stupid or the opposite happens.
Anyway, I guess I’m probably the only person who over analyzes their blog.

I would… but I don’t even under analyze my own blog…
Under analyzing sounds wonderful!
Or not
Don’t pretend you don’t over analyze everything John. 😉
This explains why I get a notification and when I go to the page it isn’t there LOL!
Sorry. I wonder about that. That’s why I only repost a bad decision post one (maybe two) times.
Sometimes you just have to do that. I am sure we all regret an occasional post. Not a problem! 🙂
You’re not alone, Hobbs. A little piece of us goes out in every post.
Thanks for making me feel like less of a dork. 😉
As others have said you are certainly not alone in the process of second guessing what you write… Diane
Thanks, it is good to know that I’m not the only one.
I always like looking at who the first person to look at a particular post is too! I sometimes wonder why they are up so late (then realize they are in a completely different time zone & it may not be late where they are.) I have started posting just after midnight my time since it seems to get me the most views on the same day as the posting. When I post in midday, some people don’t see it until the day after.
I love time zones. It is so cool to talk to people all over the world. I have often wondered about why people are up late too, then I realize it is me who is up late. 😉
