Phases of becoming a blogger

So, I'm catching up on neglected blog feeds while taking a break from heavy labor on the farm (for those who don't know: I have a small farm in rural Wisconsin, USA) while I sip coffee and contemplate whether I should really come up with a solid blogging strategy.
The very first blog entry I read is from Jason Warner, who runs the "Learning and Development for Online Sales and Operations at Google, on his meritocracy.net blog, which covers various topics usually related to talent acquisition and retention. His from March 12, 2007 describes The 12 Phases of Becoming a Blogger. They are, in brief:

  1. I can't do a blog. I'm not qualified.
  2. I could do a blog, but no one would read.
  3. If I did do a blog, some people would read.
  4. Once I started a blog, I would run out of things to write about.
  5. I'm going to try blogging, but I don't know how to set it up.
  6. People would probably help me set it up, so I'm going to try and do this.
  7. I now have a blog, and it's hard to fit writing into my life, but I think about things diferently.
  8. I've been writing a little bit, and I'm running out of things to say.
  9. I'm starting to fit blogging into my normal weekly routine.
  10. I have way too much to write about that I no longer have the time to write about everything I want to say.
  11. I've met a few people through my blogging.
  12. Blogging has changed so much about my life.

 
I think I'm somewhere around item 7 on that list.
Where are you?
