Confessions of a Blogger

All the effort that went into starting this blog and I’ve gone months without so much as lifting a finger to update.  I feel bad.

One could argue in my defense that I’ve had one of the worse cases of writers block known to man. I would sit at my computer excited about a blog topic and the words would just not come together. The ritual, (for lack of a better term), would go something like this. I’d sit at my laptop and attempt to write the intro of an article that turned into the closing.  I’d rewrite that because it didn’t make sense, and in the meantime I’d come up with the lost intro, all the while never coming up with the meat of the blog. This madness would go one for what seemed like hours before a kink in my neck, cramped fingers and frustration forced me to a halt.

Even though I knew that one of the best cures for writers block was just to continue to write, I couldn’t even make myself do that. It seemed as though I had developed an aversion to blogging so intense I experienced mini convulsions at the thought of even logging in to my dashboard. I knew it was an issue only time could cure, so I decided to take an unapologetic, indefinite break from writing and reappear when I was ready.  I think I’m ready and this time I’ll take things slow(er), since Rome wasn’t built in a day.

This may sound like a corny acceptance speech, but I’d really like to thank the SPAMMERS for leaving the most ridiculous comments for my approval and for reminding me my site really exits in the first place! Here’s one of my favorites:

Better Standard,whose future candidate test pass married matter change be double say character sport adult domestic press active come around wife show join yourself liberal our enjoy twice museum hope museum parliament afford dream selection deny absence distribution fine assess few nose appeal approach domestic conference carry along influence fill other welcome officer author jump security sometimes image subject largely various tree it define direction book cell key enough press proper most shape function interested ride light justice ourselves structure down recently all business reference attack deep throughout

Who wouldn’t want to come back after quality comments like this! Stay tuned!
