There should be a REAL post here today. And there’s not.
BUT NOT FOR LACK OF TRYING.
I blew off my errands today trying to birth this thing, but it WILL NOT find its final form.
I spent more time than I care to admit (Don’t hit me, massa’!) frittering away at….. nothing.
Well not nothing…. but here’s how it went down.
I started writing about one thing…. which dovetailed into another. I split that post in two and eventually decided not to use one of them. Disturbed by the half I didn’t feel I could use, I started a thought on what I actually WON’T SAY and somehow wound up bitching about comments – which had nothing to do with the original topic and thus was dumped into a new draft.
Back to the original idea. And so on and so on and so on.
I’ve got four brilliant drafts and nothing to show for it.
THE POINT IS – my brain is everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. I don’t know what I DO want to say and what I DON’T want to say.
I am conflicted.
She Just Had To Say It seems to be morphing into She Was Dying To Say It, But Couldn’t
I HATE FILTERING. I STARTED BLOGGING SO I WOULDN’T HAVE TO FILTER, DAMMIT.
It’s sickening. I’m a hot fickle mess, I’m ovulating and my husband just left me. Something about a marathon blah blah blah. They all just blur one into another anymore.
You want honest? You got honest.
This isn’t about mojo. Belie-heve me – I’ve got mojo. But drafts galore are constipating the pipeline and I have no idea what the writer’s equivalent of laxative may be.
Anyone?
p.s. In the interest of full disclosure, this post took approximately 4 and 1/2 minutes.

What are you making for supper? I need some inspiration.

Wine?
Um, I have no response. Except I have this problem a lot. Hence the plethora of postless days on my blog.
I’d have a glass of wine and call it a day.
kristen@nst´s last blog ..What Matters
You could always call your in-laws or some other interesting individual. Conversations with my MIL tend to… oh wait, maybe that won’t work… cuz I tend to get constipated when I talk with her.

I’ll reply with a really bad poem:
The only way through it
May be to spew it.
The end.

I say ignore the negative comments. This is YOUR blog and you’ll say what you want to! If they don’t like it, they don’t have to read!
Christina´s last blog ..I’m a Gummy Bear…
just write the post and email it to me. I’ll post it on your behalf… anonymously.

Speaking of filtering … the boss of my boss, as in the big boss (aka my pastor) reads my blog pretty much every day … ’nuff said.
He corrected me about using the work “damn” when I was quoting “Gone With the Wing.” How you like them apples?
I’ve deleted more posts than I’ve written. I do hate that I’m now censored, but I guess it’s a good thing.
Mama Belle´s last blog ..Ironic
I hate being censored too, but it was my own damned fault – trying to drum up traffic, so I fed it into my facebook posts and now all my church peeps are like, “So…. ’bout your last post…” At first I was all, GAH! about it, but it gave me pause to think about *my own* (not yours) blogging content and whether I was using my blog in such a manner that I had two different personas (one worldly and the other that of a Christian). I felt personally convicted by that and thus have far fewer readers than I used to. Wow – that got long!
As for the whole topics turning into sub-topics faster than water gives birth to more gremlins – I am totally with ya and have drafts from this summer still only partially written.
ramblinred´s last blog ..Friday at Long Last…
Agreed. People I didn’t want to find my blog, found my blog. I don’t say anything about them on there because I’m not tacky like they are, but the point was that it was a space where I could just talk about anything without their commentary on it.
sam´s last blog ..Whip It
Oh you know I am right there with you sista! You know what I have been going through lately. Can’t-keep-a-cohesive-thought!
rrmama´s last blog ..And here is where I ramble about my weekend
Laughed out loud at this one. I have like 40-some drafts hanging around in WordPress limbo, some of which were started like a year ago. I literally found one about my eldest daughter’s bday, and in 10 days she will be having her NEXT bday. sheesh.
