I wonder if this thought could be informed by the studies of lurkers. It seems that I've seen quite a few recently. Also, I think the willingness to write might be less linked to a blank screen/sheet than, say, esteem or other issues. In forums (fora?), for example, there isn't a blank screen - you're adding to the bottom of a thread. You can participate without starting from scratch (incremental comments). Likewise, with blogs, you can comment instead of starting with a blank post.
No doubt you're right, though, that it's not a community unless people participate.
