I've been reading a lot of posts lately that seem to express that many bloggers, at least here on Active Rain, are reaching a certain level of 'blog block'...
At first, I thought it was a regular 'Monday Morning' phenomenon...you know, a 'blue Monday' kind of thing...but then when it spilled over into Tuesday, I began to think that maybe there was something more to it!!!
I thought about it for an 'Active Rain' minute...which is about 3 or 4 seconds...and decided to post some suggestions!!! First, lets look at some facts!
Bryant Tutas first expressed this problem in a post of his which focused on the key word of the post...CONSTIPATION...that's the term Bryant chose to illustrate 'blog block' in his own words...for that effort, Bryant got a feature which makes me believe my assertion that somehow Bryant has access to the Active Rain 'feature button'...kinda like the big red 'EASY' button in the Staples ads!!!
Patricia Kennedy, that magnanimous red haired realtor from D.C., and quite a flashy writer here on AR, expressed a kind of 'lethargic' feeling as well, which I construed as her version of 'blog block'...indicating that maybe Bryant's 'constipation' was contagious and spreading throughout Active Rain Land!!! Can a 'virus' spread in a 'virtual environment'???
That's a rhetorical question, please don't focus on it or its answer!!!
So what is my solution for any of you out there in Active Rain Land that are experiencing this same 'virus' or phenomenon we call 'blog block'?
IMAGINATION...use your imagination...your childhood gift that probably lies dormant much of the time...reenergize it...rejuvenate it...rekindle the fire of your imagination...that's where the 'kernels' of good posts lie!!!
Everyone has an imagination...some underuse it...some may abuse it...some ignore it...some think it 'childish'...it's child-like, but not 'child...ish'!!! Use it!!! Or, maybe lose it!!!
Jason,

Gary,
Funny thing...I was never a great writer, nor was I fond of writing...but I find blogging brings out the 'best' in me...I'm never at a loss for words when sitting at my computer!!! Thanks, Fran
My wife sometimes hates the fact that everything I do, see or hear becomes a blog. She is worried one day that she maybe the focus of one of her blogs more than just the anniversary post.
Todd,
Just repeat after me, "I will take no candid photos of my wife to place on my blog"! Now show this to her, and you should be OK!!! LOL Thanks, Fran
