"Billmon's inability to keep up with the demands of moderating comments in the face of a job, family and other responsibilities is just one manifestation of a problem increasingly faced by popular daily bloggers: burnout. While they enjoy what they're doing, many find that keeping up with the pressures to post regularly and to be sharp, witty and incisive is often too much."

"Roger Simon joked that he hadn't written any novels or screenplays since he started blogging--in response to a question, he later said he had a couple in the works--and admitted that blogging is a great form of procrastination, much easier than real writing. The general consenus was that blogging takes four to six hours a day, which makes it good for workaholics and people who don't have other jobs. But even one of the latter, Mickey Kaus, said that after more than four years of blogging, he's starting to suffer from burnout."
