There’s so much information, I have never felt “ready” if you know what I mean. I worry much less about the content and more about monitoring and promoting a website.
It's definitely an effort. I was much the same. At some point I just got cracking and started getting feedback, making incremental changes rather than having everything perfect at once. After a year, the whole blog undoubtedly looks better and more professional than when I began. The technical skills ("monitoring and promoting a website") come in time and piece-wise.
If you've got content, just get cracking. That's the main thing.
Blogging definitely requires the effort to spread your message to as many people as you can, I find many people underestimate it or are just generally scared of doing it. One step at a time is the way to go, start small and keep improving as you said.
I have, but had to take a break (and the blog down) because of lack of time. I will be re-launching soon though when I find enough time for it to be worthwhile. There's no point if I can't dedicate at least 10 hours to it per week.

Great reply. What's your blog if you don't mind me asking?
Definitely!
I've read it's best practice to write a bunch of things first and build a buffer zone of content. So that's what I'm doing for now. No rush.
I have so many ideas in my head, I think I ultimately have the fear of who will be my audience. Who will read it. You know?

Respect, keep us updated.
No cause I don't know what I'm doing! Just the thought of trying to set it up intimidates me.
Not a blogger or anything, but even I know that you can start really easily on wordpress.com and/or medium.com.
I'll check them out thanx.
I'm too big of a wimp. Simple as that :(
Deciding on a niche is killing me. I've wanted to start forever but it just completely eludes me.
