Perhaps it sounds under-hand or even a little creepy, but you could blog under any pen name, or random name, that you can think of. The pressure of being "Joanna Geary at The Times" just won't be there if you pitch up at whatevername.com and type away. There's many things wrong with doing that, but if it gets you getting your thoughts and ideas out there for discussion, that would otherwise be locked away by "blog fear"...then, that can only be good?
