Struggling to blog...or not?

Why is it that it has taken me 5 weeks to post... surely if I want to blog then I should not have to force myself! Am I not motivated due to the fact that this blog is for my dissertation? Had I focussed on something I really want to talk about and am passionate about, would I have contributed more by now? However, I find this topic interesting which is why I want to focus on this area for my dissertation- I wouldn't choose a subject I'm not interested in anyway.

Or maybe simply, I am a new blogger and this is one of the stages that a new blogger has to overcome in order to become a fully active blogger. Mmmm.. food for thought. Or even a better explanation for my absence might be that you do not need to blog every day or week, every two months is okay, isn't it?
