I
know I’m supposed to blog, I do. I haven’t posted in a while and surely I
should have something that I could write about, don’t I? Sitting at my desk,
preparing to blog, I can’t think of a single thing that would interest my
readers right now. I haven’t conquered the world lately, though not from lack
of trying. I’m still writing, so novel not yet complete, my kids still have
their moments, but hopefully all kids do, and I’m getting further and further
behind in my deadlines due to things that do before I can sit
down and write. The
experts’ say that if you write a blog pick a topic that you can write about at
least ten times. I could do that, but is it worth blogging about, really? I
don’t know. My kids alone could easily create a ten-post run. Their arguments,
the drama between two girls, the pre-teen curse, you know, ‘the look’ followed by, ”Why
are you staring at me?” I don’t understand that all!!! “Wait a minute, I
didn’t stare at you. You’re staring at me.” Oh
my goodness, what just happened!
Dogs.
Everybody loves dogs. Mine don’t actually know that they’re dogs, spoilt rotten
and not by me. My girls, they spoil them. That might be a topic. Why do we treat our dogs better than we treat
some people? Don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying we shouldn’t treat them as if
they’re part of the family, they are, I’m just saying that might be an
interesting blog topic. Um. I shall
think about that one! I
personally love deadlines, I do. Self impose many of them on myself to keep me
focused and on task. It works. I have consequences for failure, self-imposed,
but that works too. Working from home the distractions are massive; um, that
might be a good topic. Staying focused when you know the laundry is screaming
to be done and breakfast dishes are still in the sink!
Blogs
are important; they keep us connected to our readers and sometimes can be
interesting. I suppose I will find a topic that interests my readers soon, I
hope so, boring you to death certainly not my intent. Until then I shall forge
ahead. I must finish chapter 12 of ‘The
Greenlee Project’ and feed my ten year old who just stormed out of my office
saying, “There’s noting to eat in this house!” Clearly there is, junk food is
limited, and there in lies another blog topic. Definition of what defines
‘food’ in the house, full pantry, fridge, something that needs to be cooked?
Um? Could be interesting… or … not!
