Keeping Your Sanity as a Blogger
Last week I asked if blogging is killing you. After a series of deaths (or near deaths) of popular bloggers primarily linked to stress, I found it refreshing to read Heather B. Armstrong’s (of the wildly popular Dooce.com) methods of dealing with some of the negatives of blogging in The Wall Street Journal.
Heather uses an unorthodox method of anger management. She prints out the comments made on her blog that are particularly mean, places the papers on her driveway, then runs over them with her car.
I think Heather provides a great example of how bloggers need to find coping mechanisms, outlets and space (i.e., time away from blogging) to be able to maintain some semblance of a normal life.
What do you do to maintain your sanity as a blogger?

Hah, cool idea with the car. Printouts of nasty comments can also be used for dart practice, cut into confetti, etc.
Stress management is super important. I guess that’s why a lot of bloggers use meditation, EFT, etc.
I have only ever gotten 2 nasty comments on my blog. But frankly, I think if I were getting them on a regular basis, I would have a very hard time dealing with that. Random mean-ness is very disturbing.
