The Writing Dry Spell
22 Aug
I admit it, I’m slacker as is my cat. Have you ever gone through a dry spell when writing? Well the spell was here and is here still. It’s frustrating because every time I sit down to write something thought provoking, somewhat humorous or even utter crud, my fingers just don’t do the walking across the keys. I’ve tried mind mapping, writing down thoughts and I even dream about blog posts…yes seriously. One of my favorite phrases lately has been, “I smell a blog post.” But alas when it comes to sitting my butt in the chair to stare at the computer screen, I am completely dry, dry to the bone.
OK, I’m desperate. It’s not that my life is dull, I can definitely take on writing about my son who always seems to get me into an extroverted mess but do I want this to turn into a mommy blog? No offense against mom blogs, I read a ton, but I want to focus more on business and myths surrounding introversion. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t speak to people regarding introversion/extroversion on the surface as well in the deep.
I’ve rambled enough, how do you get over a dry spell?

HAHA! I’ll let you know what works for me when I get out of my dry spell! Yuck, I really hate those things. And I SO know what you mean about dreaming about blog posts — do it all the time — or write them in my head as I’m driving down the road. Yet, when I sit at my computer, my mind goes blank or I think I’ll just go read a few other blogs to get some ideas … hours later … it’s time for me to get up from my computer!
So if you get any tips, pass them along to me. If I get out of this spell first, I’ll let you know what worked for me!
Slightly off topic, but how are you getting on with the weight loss? Can you tell us a bit more about the changes you made to your diet? I found those entries earlier in the blog to be very inspiring (as is all of your writing here)
