Writer’s Block

I’m quite often sitting at my computer, but it rarely occurs to me that I should be spending the time posting to my blog. I mean, I’ve spent this money to host and pay for a domain, and other than the occasional theme change and a post about the new house, my site gets utilised. I’d really like to make more of an effort around here, and I could make all the excuses – work, housework, shopping for groceries, going out – but you know what? Today I did absolutely nothing except sit on my ass, play games, watch TV, then cooked dinner. Why didn’t I take the time to write a blog post? I do have some theories.

1) Twitter. Now that I’m using Twitter pretty much daily, I find myself using that more often to talk about my daily life.

2) Facebook. The same reasons above, I’m using that more often, and thus there’s less that I feel I should be writing about on my blog.

3) Michael. No, it’s not that he prevents me from blogging. It’s more that because he’s in my life, I have someone to share my days with, and again I feel there’s less to talk about in a blog entry.

What do you guys think? For those of you who are regular bloggers, how do you come up with things to say on a daily (sometimes more) basis? I need something to cure this writer’s block.

I don’t blog every day. Or even every other. But I usually just write about whatever I feel like at the time. Sometimes I’ll sit with wordpress open for an hour before anything really strikes me. So my cure for writers block is just to write! You don’t have to write about your day. Write about something you saw six years ago that made you laugh. It’s your blog! Write what you want, when you want. :)

I feel the same, I feel like I am wasting my money by not using it enough. Like you, I uses twitter constantly but most the things I put there I couldn’t blog about because I couldn’t extend it much further than the 140 character limit. As for Facebook I tend to use it to watch others rather than contribute myself, I am more of a “lurker”.

I pretty much blog once a week right now and that’s if I’m on a good month! I don’t really have that much to say. My life is pretty much the same on a daily basis and I don’t think anyone would be that entertained by me talking about the same things over and over.

That said, I do come up with topics to blog about sometimes and even though I do make a note of it, I rarely actually get around to blogging about them.
