We’ve been pretty quiet here lately, so I thought I’d do a Google search on ‘introvert’ and see if I could find something to blog about. My search led me to A Guide For The Introverted Blogger.

In this article from The Blog Herald, Micah Sparacio explains that introverts are often sensitive to criticism, which may cause us to hold back from blogging and to avoid controversial subjects when we do blog.

He then goes on to discuss the positive attributes of introverts in terms of blogging:

Introverts usually bring a long term vision to their blogging. They tend to plan things out meticulously and speak only when they have something important to say. Introverts tend to think twice before blogging an idea, and this can be a filter against junk. Introverts also tend to offer positive feedback to other bloggers, something our community certainly needs more of.

He promises to devote future articles to overcoming introvert-specific roadblocks to blogging, but this one was posted in January 2007 and unfortunately, he no longer seems to be writing for the Blog Herald. I think another Google search will be needed to track down this interesting writer!
