Do you think I should stop Blogging for a while?
All I am going to be able to write is self indulgent tripe. I’m wondering if it would be better for you all if I just stopped until I felt better.
So. Should I stop? Yes or no.

No.
If for no other reason than practice makes perfect. Things (in the artistic/creative world) don’t ‘get better’ through doing nothing. They get better through practice.
Now if you want to run through a series of exercises I’d be willing to help – perhaps you could stop blogging if you committed yourself to writting in another form, but if you don’t make that commitment…? No.

I’m not worried about my writing ability, or lack thereof. Just that I’ll depress you all.

Keep on blogging. You may find it cathartic and when things are better you’ll be able to look back on it and appreciate the good times more.
If you’re low, write for yourself, not for others. I think your writing is good enough that people will always read you. You don’t have to be wacky or funny or clever every day – if you were, people really would get bored because they realise you’re a real person and nobody is like that in real life.
Good luck.

Yes you are.
Just that I’ll depress you all.
No you won’t.

Agreed – you certainly won’t depress us; we’d be worried about you if you went quiet.

Okay. Okay. I’ll keep going…
