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.

Thumper said that (if you don’t have anything good to say…) quote in Bambi, Bran. Damn rabbits.

Preach it! I went for a whole month without blogging. I found I had nothing to say and when I thought about posting I was overcome with that familiar, “What the hellz the point?” feeling that tends to stop me from doing a lot of things.
We’ll figure schtuff out someday, and if we don’t we can always make a pact that if we can’t figure out what to do with our lives on our own we will tell each other what to do. Hmm, on second thought that could turn out badly…

Same thing happens to me. I think you should just write and refuse to delete something just because you think no one will care. The randomness and the ranting are usually the best part.
I usually think my blog is lame, but lots of people tell me they think it is funny… the best possible compliment I could get!
So, here’s your little ego boost: I think you’re super funny and I would rather read short little entries than nothing at all! Write, dammit! Write!
