I’m trying to figure out what stopped me from writing.  What’s stopping me from writing now?  As with a lot of things these days, I find myself saying, “I don’t know what happened, but I used to do this… I used to do that.”  Anywho, “I used to” write in my (*wincing)* Xanga blog about random crap all the time.  I mainly wrote about what I did that day or what my plans were and/or what I already accomplished for that week or whatever.  It was an extremely basic, not necessarily well written and sometimes funny little site.  There are things in my old blog that I wouldn’t even PONDER putting on missydetrick.com.  I have to watch my language a bit more.  Definitely watch how much personal information I share.

What are us bloggers supposed to write about anyway?  Maybe that’s the problem.  Yeah, I know every blogger is different.  Many people use blogs as a personal or creative outlet, a career/industry-focused portal or just a hobby.  I’m…well, I’m confused.  I think it all comes down to my overall issue in life at the moment: I just want someone to tell me what to do because I no longer feel like I know what I’m doing.  Sometimes I feel like screaming, yelling and b*tching on here, but most times I…just don’t do… anything.  I THINK I have a lot to say yet always end up changing my mind at the last moment.  What do people want to hear or read?  Is this entertaining?  Will I sound stupid?

Oh screw it, I just won’t write at all.

Stick a carrot in it, Thumper.

It’s kind of a “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” sort of deal.  (That was in Bambi, right?)    Maybe someday I’ll feel like I have something better to say, but until then I have to at least start saying something.
