Hi Mary,
I read your blog entry and got a laugh!
In addition to blogging and writing newsletters to all my prospects and clients, I also write a monthly newspaper column and (in my spare time) I'm writing a thriller novel, and quite often I have sat at my computer with my mind a total blank. I know I want to write on something and just can't get started. Eventually it flows, though.
I find myself scribbling a few words on one of my business cards when I get an idea or hear a good story and when I sit down to write I pull out the cards and that gets me going.
You have a fun style and I enjoyed reading it.
This certainly was written from the heart and I understand why it can be frustrating not knowing what to write about. What I can suggest is if a client asks you a question, write a post about it and answer the question!
If one person asks it, 10 are probably to embarrassed to ask it because they don't want to sound stupid. If you even pick up one client by doing that, then your time was well served. Remember you can list a house and have 50 buyers look at it, but only one will buy it.
Think of your blog that way! Write it maybe only 50 people will read it, but if it means something to one person, it could be your next client, because you answered their question when no one else could.
Good luck and don't give up, blogging works!
