Blogger's block, the e-equivalent of writer's block, seems to have struck me. Thinking I had at least created a clever new phrase, I checked online and was disappointed to see that the term "blogger's block" is far from original. Sigh.
It's easy to find reasons to avoid writing a new blog post. Let's see, there's my day job, my music activities, the economy, chores around the house, social engagements, stuff I need to read, a movie I want to watch, a workout that's long overdue, family members I haven't called in a while, our dog Petey wants and deserves my attention, ditto times 100 for my lovely, patient wife, a car that needs washing, and so on. In short, plenty of other things interfere with my commitment to Americana Dan.
When I started this blog, I was a reliable weekly blogger. I've become spotty. Could be it's time for a renewal of my blogging vows. But I hate to make a promise I won't keep.
Maybe I could use some blog counseling. Or try to get Americana Dan to agree that we should start seeing other people. Or something like that.
After giving it some thought, I've decided that all I need is a minor attitude adjustment. No sense feeling guilty if I don't post anything for a week or two, right? Why shouldn't I feel ok about posting when the urge strikes but not otherwise? If anybody out there thinks this is a bad idea, please let me know. I'm reaching out to you, my beloved readers, with an open mind, actively soliciting your input. More than anything, I don't want to let you down. I've got a feeling I won't, and trusting that if I do, you will let me know.
