Writer's blog
Yet again I have abandoned my blog for too long. I apologise profusely for this. Since we've all moved on from this tragic event, I think you should know that I've had three realisations today:
1.) I realised that I have this strange relationship with my blog. You know the way some people name their cars and start creating personas for them? Well, that's how it is with my blog. When I don't write on it for a while, it's tantamount to abuse (in my head). Not writing on it is like not feeding it or not giving it water, or telling it to shove off when it wants a hug. I know that might sound insane. I mean for god's sake it's just a blog, right?
2.) I am a serial blogger. I have another three to five blogs (that I recall at the moment) on several blogging sites all over the internet. I don't even use these. Ever. I think I like the 'clean' space of a new blog. The potential for pages and pages of intelligent commentary. (Hahahaha.) So I set them up and give them quirky names and I think "this is the blog... THIS is the one... that will make me famous and rich like that Julie Powell woman". (Look her up if you don't know who she is.)But they never do. Ha! But it's okay because I really like writing anyway. Even if it is drivel.
3.) When I get that panic attack feeling of not having written on my blog for ages and I think "I'd better write something... ANYTHING", that is when I get writers blog. (That's like writer's block, but for blogs.) The weird thing is, I do actually do things in my life. I am a busy person with loads to talk about, but when it comes to writing things down for my blog, my brain freezes up and I start making sounds like someone with a sock in their mouth. Which I find very odd. I think it's some kind of performance anxiety. Now, having said this, I really need to go and think about something to write about. If you have any ideas please pop me a message. Hope you're rocking out on the dark side. Cheers. xxxx
