blank blog page
I've been sitting here staring, for the longest time, at a blank blog page.
What to do.
What to do.
So let me tell you what's on my mind, short of delving into an interesting blog topic that might engage your interest for the next minute or three.
Let's talk about keeping a blog and writing blog posts for it. Personal blogs. Like this one.
b's blog has always been about a little bit o' dis and a little bit o' dat - lacking any particular theme. 'Much ado about nothing' could be an apropos second byline.
I originally set it up that way so I could free-associate about any number of topics, save for politics and religion, of course - which makes for trouble any which way you look at it.
Having this as my blog format has certainly proven a therapeutic exercise in personal interest writing,
and great fun, to boot.
In addition, one always hopes to enlighten and/or entertain the errant internet surfer who happens by now and again.
But
now
I am
seriously
re-thinking my blog.
Considering a re-do.
A re-vamp.
Or to begin
completely
anew.
Seriously.
It's becoming more and more of a challenge to think of subject matter I am inspired to 'blog about'. Tougher to write with any wit/humor/freshness/conviction/passion on a topic that comes (typically, in the middle of the night) to mind. Something that will actually move me to put up a new post.
Perhaps this is a low energy week for me.
Haven't been sleeping well.
Feeling kinda crabby.
Contemplative - now that's always a dangerous sign.
It may not be the most ideal day to consider changing out the blog format.
Yet change is on my mind...
What to do.
What to do.

I HEAR YA B... IT'S BECOMING A CHALLENGE... BUT I WILL KEEP AT IT. HOPE YOU WILL TOO.
take what you want and leave the rest in the following advice:
I like the idea of a redo...think of a completely new concept.
Limit your self to 20 words or less,Pick a theme (or ask us) for the seasons. Research images only online or write strictly about what's out your windows. Make newspaper headlines your theme. Maybe time for silly poems instead semi-serious essays.
Make up crossword puzzles and see if we can do it.
Make up stories.
Go on, get going!
Write fanfic. That's what I do, and I absolutely LOVE to read the fan letters that come my way. Truly, write fanfic.
