"All I've got to learn is the law of diminishing return"
I love my blog.
I love blogging.
I love reading other blogs & catching up on the in & outs of my friend's lives.
Despite all this I seem to have become utterly crap at the whole damn thing.
I've been spending whole days thinking about what I should blog about next & I'm getting nothing.
Nish.
When I do get some half arsed idea it invariably gets dismissed as lame & abandoned.
I've also been struggling to keep up with everybody else.
I know I've been missing out on events (in New York, say) & I'm quite ashamed to say I've been little or no support to a dear friend who has been going through the ringer. I'm truly sorry.
On top of this there seem to be some new faces in the neighbourhood who I've yet to introduce myself to.
I feel quite disconnected from blogworld.
I don't like it.
If I'm totally honest, I really don't like how my absence from blogland has led to an absence of folks visiting these very pages.
I don't know what to do.

I still visit you every day, even if I don't always comment! And I think that blogs, like anything else, go through ups and downs. There were points at which I obsessively chronicled every little miniscule event that happened to me. Recently, I've left out a lot. Don't stress. We're all still here, and the muse of blogging will inspire you again!
Thanks for popping by my place today. It means a lot.
:)

Maybe instead of dismissing it, you should write it up and post it. If it fails, it fails. But you may find something that you didn't imagine would work being a huge success.

I think you should go out and have sex. That ought to take care of a few things.

Thanks for stopping by my place, hello to you too!! Hope you'll be back.
I can totally relate. I've set up my blog as a sort-of running to do list, but I go through periods where it seems like I've done nothing, and thus backed myself in a corner with my format. Just got to keep on keeping on. Oooh, cheesy. Sorry.

What you need is an adventure.
Go wrestle a local crocodile and then you'll have something to blog about, even if you have to type one-handed.

Keep using ABC lyric as post headers and I'm a fan for life! Oh, wait, I'm already a fan...
I know of what you speak, though. Blog Slump happens to us all. Mercury is in retrograde for a while, that has something to do with it (any excuse).
But remember the rest of the song
"...things get better second time around..."

I like Mr. Mystic's idea...LOL.
Thanks for the note BTW.
You know, a blog is supposed to be for you. Write what you feel like writing about. Enjoy your blog.
Its supposed to entertain you first, entertaining us is just a benefit, right?

Tally ho. Pip pip. Chocks away.

We are all still awaiting those bungee jumping photos.
Isn't there a few unfinished stories too perhaps, where you say, "that's a story for another time."
Is it that time yet?

Flashster...I'm still around. But I must disagree with Mystic. If anything, this blog needs LESS sex, not more. :)

okay - so I'm a little late to the party with this.... but I still turned up right?
Don't force it, and don't write for your massive fanbase. We love you for what you are. If all else fails, write some journals like you used to. They were brilliant mate.... you still have the power. Even Spidey lost his mojo for a bit.
