The process of blogging as shown through GIFs I found on Google

It all starts with an idea.

2.3 seconds later.

I'm very efficient at positive self-talk.

After that I sit down to type the aforementioned genius idea and am immediately besieged by writer's block.

I get mad and start pinning random DIY projects until I realize I'm being a pansy, and I'm like:

So then I'm all,

The words start flowing, and I'm like this:

Ten minutes later, I stop to look over what I've written so far, and all I can think is:

I finally finish my post, and I'm like,

Then I hit publish and wait for comments.

After I get a comment:

Unless it's a mean one, in which case I'm like,

But secretly I'm in the corner doing this: 

After I finish my two boxes of thin mints (okay five), I'm like,

And that's pretty much the end of it (no pun intended) until a few days later, when I go back and read my post, you know, just for kicks, and I see a typo.

So then I fix the typo as quickly as possible and that's pretty much definitely the end of it until a few days later, when I go back and read my post. Again, just for kicks. And I start rethinking the genius of everything I wrote. I'm sitting there like,

Blogging. It's a vicious cycle of ups and downs, my friends. Do tread with caution.
