Can being on a content regimen kill creativity?

I’m fairly new to this whole blog thing, but I’m getting the picture that creating content is tough work. Imagine writing a mini research paper every time you decide to post a blog. You start with a great topic that you think will add value to your readers’ experience. It may take you a few hours (or more than a day), but you gather some credible sources to link to, draft and proof read your work and finally click “publish.” Now imagine that after all your effort, nobody reads or comments on the product of all your hard work. In the end, you put on a great performance for an absent audience.
I have tremendous respect for those that choose to put themselves through this painful process for a living. It requires the type of endurance and perseverance that only marathon runners possess. For the rest of us hobby-bloggers it can become too frustrating, and many of us end up tossing our sites into the black hole of inactive blogs.
