Uninspired Banter

When I first started this blog, I had every intention of posting in it regularly. I mean, once my readers got a taste of my eloquence and wit, they wouldn’t be able to live without it. Right? Right???  Unfortunately, the best of intentions are often overcome by laziness, lack of time, lack of inspiration… the list goes on. 

Despite my deep desire to write and to write well, I have been struggling with “producing” as of late. Well, it’s not only lately that I’ve struggled with it. About a month after I started the blog, I went on a 12-month hiatus. Talk about follow through. Once I finally picked it up again, my goal was to post every couple of weeks. That happened for a while. I even managed 7 blogs in one month (I had a lot going on in my life)! However, I have slipped off that high back into a slump. I'm having a difficult time thinking about interesting things to write about.

I think part of the reason is that I write about my experiences, and sometimes, the things I experience really aren’t worth writing about. Documenting an international trip as opposed to elaborating about a typical week in the office usually tends to yield different results (depending on how exciting or ridiculous your co-workers are). I guess I just haven’t been super inspired as of late. And to make matters worse, I write all day at work, which makes it difficult to motivate myself to write when I'm at home.

What to do… what to do. I’m trying to figure out how to re-inspire myself. Any suggestions? Yoga? Copious amounts of chocolate? A trip to the Grand Canyon? As I write this, I’m in the middle of a 5-hour and 13-minute plane ride to Seattle. The view out of my window is just spectacular.  All I can see are clouds, but the formations are exquisite. They have molded themselves into mountains and valleys and rivers and space shuttles. I supposed my mind should be more like a cloud—malleable and ever changing with the wind. So I’ll work on getting more creative with my writing, and you can work on being a dedicated reader. Deal? Deal. Here's to new and exciting beginnings and hopefully some inspiration along the way.
