Amen and amen.
Some more possible reasons why it’s still not happening:
(There’s a question for you at the end.)
Some artists have never had real jobs and therefore have no real concept of “work.”
Some artists truly have nothing to say.
Some artists can’t write.
Some artists are lazy.
Some artists don’t want to do anything but make art and hire others to do everything else - and so far, no one can be hired to blog for us.
Some artists don’t need to do anything else - their careers are soaring without taking the risk of trying something new and time intensive.
Some artists are lazy.
Some artists are perfectionists and the thought of writing something casual and conversational feels imperfect to them.
Some artists are micromanaged by managers or labels who don’t want the “image” or the “message” changed by the artist’s on-line activities.
Some artists don’t read blogs and don’t understand why anyone else does so there’s no value in the medium for them - it’s like spending time and money on sky writing.
Some artists are lazy.
Some artists are undisciplined, unable to make themselves do something they don’t naturally do very well and enjoy.
Some artists think no one will care what they write and that, especially to a successful artist, stings a little.
Some artists already have a newsletter and a website full of information so they wonder what on earth is left to share.
Some artists are lazy.
Why don’t you blog?

I will inevitably say something very stupid that will haunt my memory for years to come.
I work more than four hours a day.
My wife’s not down with it.
I’m a perfectionist. It takes me a long time to say much of anything.
It would provide me another outlet (inlet?) for my self-centeredness.
My hair is not as cool as yours.

That’s a pretty airtight reason, bibbyroo.

I have many things that I want to do, and for which I feel that God has imbued me with passion. However, I feel passionate about things in waves. Sometimes it’s writing, then it’s blogging, then music, then activism.
I believe that it’s possible to do all of them and that that’s what my future holds. But I need to focus on doing excellent work on one or two things first instead of constantly bouncing around.

i wonder if some christian artist are afraid of being honest & transparent..for fear of ruining their ‘christian artist’ reputation.
whatever ‘christian artist’ actually means i still haven’t figured out.
