Active Rain Virus Warning, BEWARE!

By
Real Estate Agent with NextHome Complete Realty AZDRE #SA581604000

    Warning:  There is a virus going around Active Rain, just like a pack of matches, everyone is going up in flames.  It is only a matter of time until you are next. 

 From my observations, I can’t pinpoint where it started, but the latest victim (before me) was TLW.  It has hit me, most likely because I read those blogs that  talked about it.  It is a virus causing an infection known as Blogger’s Block. I have injected this particular blog with the antidote for Blogger’s Block, so don’t worry about reading this.  But it is too late for me.  It is not too late to save yourselves

 

Where you can go for help:  For more information on how to cure  Blogger’s Block, don’t contact me.  I can’t think of a darn thing either.  The best thing to do is find someone who never seems to run out of witty things to say, or unfathomable amounts of knowledge in any subject. 


Another option would be visiting the outdoors and stepping away from ActiveRain.  I know your points are at stake, but going without a decent blog for almost two weeks hurts worse.  It’s frustrating watching peers pass you up the list for the number 1 spot.  Survivors have said that the effects are slow to go away, but leave virtually no side effects. 

 

 

Wish me well, I'm on the road to recovery.

I read the many newsletters I get and just rehash what they have to say.  It's like the start the dialogue and then I jump in with my never humble opinion.  Try it, you mihgt like it.

To cure Blogger's Block, I recommend a virtual trip to Colorado Springs to see Dr. Mariana Wagner. She has some great ideas on local content, plus a three-part series of ideas inspired by The Godfather movies.

I am just overcoming a case of bloggers block.  Notice I didn't put up any posts for about the last 2 weeks.  I feel recharged and ready to go!! :)

LM,

Bloggers Block can be repaired very easily. Go out with your hubby or boyfriend for a fun night, relax, enjoy and have fun.

The next day you`ll be back to normal, sans the hangover!

Great post! I've too had to step away from Active Rain for awhile and am slowly comming back. It is difficult as you say to constantly make posts or the fear of writing something only to have your work rejected. But, like all things we need to press on!

Welcome back!

Rey, I am contagious.  People can't get enough of me, and always remember my name :P Just Kidding!  But Lexapro isn't the anti-dote to me!  LOL  

Gary, thanks for the compliements!     

Everyone else, somehow I wrote a comment back to all of you, and it's gone.  So just understand that the virus MIGHT be spreading to comments too....

I too am a recovering Anxious Author with Bloggers Block.  I stepped away for a couple of weeks partly because of that and partly because of being very busy showing properties.  My solution is to not take myself so seriously all the time, but to blog about other things as well.  Hence, my blog about my Wardrobe Malfunction.

Lexa I was scared to read all the way to the end because I was scared I would get hit next.  I have been fighting the symptoms for the last week or so.  I guess I better go outside and run around so that I can shake it off!!
