10 signs you are taking blogging too seriously

• You haven't bought a newspaper in months.
• You delay a blog post for hours because you don't feel like you've properly nailed a witty or clever enough title.
• You leave a comment as 'Anonymous' congratulating yourself on a great post.
• You leave a comment as 'Anonymous' disagreeing with yourself, just to pre-empt a debate.
• The first thing you type into Google upon logging in is your own blog name to see what people out there are saying about you.
• Minutes after logging off the computer you check your emails on your phone, just on the off chance someone's left a good comment in those past few minutes.
• You grossly exaggerate how many people read your blog in public while fiercely defending the clear Google Analytics facts that you don't get past single digits on any given day.
• You sometimes introduce yourself to strangers as an 'amateur political analyst' just to see if they are impressed.
• You carry your laptop around with you every waking second and it feels like the end of the world when you realise you've left the power cable at home and the battery's dead.
• You lie awake long into the night thinking of 10 signs that people may be taking blogging too seriously (and then forget them all the next morning)
