My blogging life has pretty much come to a halt. What’s with that?! I don’t know if it’s cabin fever or a bona fide mental disorder.
Lord knows the cabin fever thing is valid. All I do is stay home and go to work. Go to work and stay home. I’m pretty much a hermit anyway, but having weather and roads that make staying in a comfort and/or safety issue kind of limits my choices. Apparently having the option of going somewhere or doing something outside the house or work has a tremendous impact on my mental state, whether I actually take advantage of those options or not.
Having a bona fide mental disorder is also valid, but we won’t get into that.
Truth be told I’ve lost my motivation, or so it feels to me. Some people might look at my life and think I’m the most productive person in the world. Some other people (hi, Charlotte) would go insane being as inert as I am. I’ve slowed down to a crawl when it comes to my housekeeping and business endeavors, but when it comes to blogging? I’ve stopped dead in my tracks.
I want to write, I want to blog. I think there’s probably something churning inside as a result of the introverted/extroverted personality concept ~ a conflict of sorts. I’m generally an introvert, but there’s an obvious extrovert in my life who has made an impact on my writing. Her actions of late have made me want to clam up and hide the extroverted behavior of blogging. Hey, I think I just figured it out!
Thing is, there are all sorts of reasons why my blogging has been so sluggish lately. I want to write. I want to blog. I just don’t know what to say.
And so I trudge on…

I can so relate! I just had this same talk with myself today. Gloom and doom and seasonal depression, and “who cares what I have to say, anyway?” I hope the weather changes soon…I’ve missed you!
I really hate to blame the weather, but this winter has been a biggie. I need to just suck it up.
Plus, I always care about what you have to say! I won’t give up on blogging if you don’t !
Thanks for caring! Okay, I guess I’ll suck it up,too.
Sara i love what you have to say and you say it in your own SARA sassy style. We all have low points and when that happens I go read a book, draw or go for a walk…..soon the warmer weather will find you and we will hear of wild parties and fun adventures I am sure. No matter what you write about I will wait and look forward to reading it, as I did this one friend.
Wild parties and fun adventures?! Woo hoo!! I’m game for that! Thanks for your encouragement. I also like that you called my style “sassy.” I am kind of a sassy pants, for good or bad.
Sara when I read your words there is a certain zing, something unique to you, I hope your novel is growing large?
Pfft! My novel is on my to-do list. I got a little bit edited and re-written recently, but it is definitely not where I wish it could be.
How’s yours coming along? Or did you finish it without my knowing? At the rate you write, one never knows!
