What can you do when your ISP is down at home?Don't get mad. Wash Dishes. Clean House. Pretend your camping out and relax and enjoy. Call you SEO or clients. But regardless, you can still write blogs just the same, then save them in Word and then put them on the air when you get to the office or if the server comes back later. In a way it isn't bad, because you don't get distracted from the task at hand ( composing a blog )easpecially with no emails, facebook, ebay, games or any of a host of other cyber space distractions to slow down the thought process.
It almost reminds me of college days sitting behind an old manual typewriter that didn't have spell check with thesaurus, much less a correction ribbon . Yes..... them were the good ol' days ...just you and the machine and maybe a collegiate Webster's Dictionary, oh..... and a special eraser for ink. Even though I had the eraser I can recall wasting many a tree's worth of paper just to turn out a 10 page research paper, And when the last piece of onion skin rolled of the press......well you felt like you had just completed something worthwhile, and especially so if it came back with an A+ on it!
Often times I have read posts on Acticve Rain talking about writer's block, or how do you think up something to carry on about or rant about in a blog. Well It really is much like personal conversations in my opinion. You just strike up the conversation and roll with it. Say what's on you mind, hope that it is helpful or stimulating to others here on Active Rain, and then be prepared to respond to the comments....good or bad.
So that does it for Post # 1 without my Internet server. Oh and while writing this I just squished a Texas size scorpion. They are pretty common right now as they are trying to come in out of the rain. I'll put up with fighting the little demons as long as the rain continues! Come on Rain!
