I can’t think. I can’t write.
It’s not that I don’t have anything to say, the problem is, I have too much. It’s all stuck in a ball in my throat and not making its way to my fingers.
So much is going on. And yet, so much of it I can’t talk about.
Instead, my blog sits and waits for me, poor thing. I’d hate to be the blog of someone with writers block and stuff, it would get lonely and boring.
I’ve been staring into space a lot, thoughts running rampant. I gasp and think “oh, I should totally write about that” but when I open up the back end of my blog, I freeze, mid poised fingers.
It’s beyond writers block, I think. I believe someone stole my voice. I’m in the process of looking for it. I’m going to put out ads, in search of. Or maybe I’m just truly ready to move on and concentrate on other things, expand my horizons and break free from this blog.
Oh, that thought. Perish it.
Then I think if I can’t write about what I REALLY want and need to write about, how many different ways and how many different times can I write about the same old shit? The sloppy teens, the moody husband, the funny 1st grader.
Bore. Ing.
Beyond frustrating. Especially when all you want to do is write.
Well, tomorrow is another day. Maybe someone will do someone interesting enough to document in my blog. Because the whining, moody, messy, angsty, bad parenting skills and such… just isn’t cutting it for me anymore.
Where do all of you, who blog all the time, find inspiration?
Because I could really use some brain rattling.
I wish I had an answer for you – but my last post was about plants. Yes, plants! So it’s apparent that I am of no help at all.

I can relate to your problem. I have been wanting to write a Blog for over 5 years and never started because I had so much in my mind that I couldn’t find a way to focus my blog on something. But just recently I read an e-book from Scribbit: http://www.scribd.com/doc/27949262/Blogging-in-Pink-A-Woman-s-Guide and Michelle Mitchel mentions how she has a calendar where she plans her blogs ahead of time. Every day of the week there is a different topic. She writes when she wants to and has always extra posts to upload for those days that she doesn’t feel like writing. I took her advice and it’s such an awesome idea it takes away the problem of wondering what to write that day. And if something comes up that you just need to post on a specific day then you can always change it. I made Sundays to be Picture of The Week, Mondays is Health/Beauty topic, Tuesdays is Household topic, Wednesday is Random Topic, Thursday is Parenting Topic, Friday I have a monthly topic, and Saturday I speak about SELF. I just started in Feb 1st but it’s been working out wonderfully. I also downloaded an app on my phone that allows me to write on my phone so I can write sample blog posts on my morning and afternoon commutes, and even while I wait for my daughters to go to sleep, then you transfer the writings to your computer and edit them for posting.
I hope you can shovel all that snow from on top of your creativity and get rid of that writer’s block once an for all. Wishing you lot’s of sunshine to melt that snow away fast. 🙂

I just start writing and let the words take me wherever they will. Sometimes I find that I have created a masterpiece and other times it is not so good.
But I like to push it because it is how I stay sharp. Writing takes practice and that is what I try to do.

I am just beginning to emerge from a horrible case of writer’s block. I had the ideas, just no energy in my fingertips or brainpower to formulate the sentences. It’s an ebb and flow, isnt’ it? Loving your new site btw.
