Musing Over My Muse

As I walked through the empty hallways of our esteemed governmental institutions today, a thought occurred to me: drunk people tend to smell bad.

Then another thought occurred to me: what if I ran out of things to blog about? What if my muse finally stopped visiting me and decided run off with my creativity to the Galápagos Islands, never to be seen or heard from again?

Because you know, that would really suck.

I don’t think I have to worry too much though. I’ve been blogging on and off for yea nigh 5 years now, and before that I kept a journal on my computer to express my thoughts, so in one sense or another I’ve always been a writer, and I probably always will be.

I do hope I’ll be able to blog more frequently as time goes on, and one of the things I’d like to be able to do for the new year is get my blogging frequency up to at least once a day. I think it’s just a matter of writing up enough posts and placing them in a scheduling queue, that way even if I’m feeling uninspired, the queue can regularly update my site with pre-written posts until I have something new to blog about.

It seems to be harder for me though because I generally avoid political and news related topics, whereas for others they can blog politics and religion and what all day long, every blinking day of the week, rehashing the same old crap, the same old arguments, the same old news, and yet for whatever reason people continue to eat it up.

Sorry, I just don’t roll that way. Once in a while I will bless the populace with insightful and enlightening political/religious dissertations that will tingle the senses, but for the most part I’m just here for the comic relief, to regale my beloved audience with riveting stories of adventure, suspense, and nonstop excitement that will thrill the imagination and leave you hanging on to the edge of your seats!

And that’s just when I’m brushing my teeth too. Imagine if I really did something exciting. :naughty:

Blogging can be a pain, and believe me I know…I’ve been blogging since 1999, back when the term had hardly existed, (see archives at Kiss My Sass).

It is not easy to come up with brilliantly crafted topics and posts all the time. Sometimes you have to just be yourself and post when you feel like it

PS – in case it wasn’t clear enough, my blog is back up and running again Whee!

Yeah, I can’t force myself to blog if I’m not in the zone, otherwise the quality of my writing will go down. It’s tough though because I’m aware of the fact that if you blog frequently and regularly, it will boost SEO and traffic. But whatevers. I play by my own rules. :shades:
