  "note": "I love blogging, and one of the questions that people often get stuck on is what to write about. Willison's take on this is great.\n\n> You should start a blog. Having your own little corner of the internet is good for the soul!\n> \n> But what should you write about?\n> \n> It’s easy to get hung up on this. I’ve definitely felt the self-imposed pressure to only write something if it’s new, and unique, and feels like it’s never been said before. This is a mental trap that does nothing but hold you back.\n> \n> Here are two types of content that I guarantee you can produce and feel great about producing: TILs, and writing descriptions of your projects.\n\nIf you haven't tried before, there is no better time than **now** to start a blog and create your own \"little corner of the Internet\".
