Topic ideas are just not coming to me these days. Fluid and complete thoughts seem to be something of the past.
Is this what they mean by mommy (or pregnancy) brain?
When I think I have a great idea, I roll with it, then it always seems to fall short. For example: I sat on the couch last night taking photo after photo of myself trying to get a decent mug shot picture for my sidebar - the stupid grin has run it’s course, plus I hate the fuckin’ seaweed green background; makes me gag. So I clicked away, then began thinking: hey this might make for an interesting a funny another craptacular entry. How many do I have to take my own picture before it would be something I’m willing to share with my readers?
[Speaking of readers, check out the right sidebar, at the top - where it says 20,382 readers subscribe to my blog. What the fuck? When did that happen? That tallying computer is playing with me. It senses how vulnerable I am when I comes to acceptance and it's just plain ol' fucking with me. Fucker. I scoff at you, you evil tally computer thingy.]
Back to the pictures. So I thought of witty statements and tried to actually prepare ahead of time before posting some garbage random piece of crap entry about nothing.
I forgot the image card at home.
Now I have nothing.
And you have this random piece of crap.
I’ve mentally mapped out my response to Ninja Poodles! dare, and hope to have time to actually do that within the next six months soon too. What can I say? I’m just no good at prepared posts. I guess I’m just a write and hit publish kinda gal.
Tell me your tricks. How do you prepare a post ahead of time? Teach me ol’ wise bloggers. Let me learn your ways of meaningful blogging.
Hard to believe that more then 20, 000 people find this entertaining isn’t it.
[I bet tomorrow I'll have one lone reader, which will be ME since I subscribe to my own feed.]
You know, every once in a while it occurs to me that a lot of other bloggers are really organized in their posting…planning ahead, mapping out their weeks, etc.
Me…I don’t know day to day IF I’m going to post, let alone WHAT.
PS: congrats on your sudden amazing popularity. My feed is still accurate, BTW.

Topics haven’t come to me in, hmm, months. I’m mailing it in and hope no one’s noticing.

I came here from Surburban Oblivion, I’m with her! LMAO! I just can’t seem to find followers. I have 2 identical blogs, I blogs on one and copy it to the other. Trying to find out where I can get the most hits. The old one something like 430 hits, and most were me I am sure and the new one, just checked, 33 hits! Tell me your secrets! I just sit in front of the computer and type what comes to mind, maybe I should plan ahead, I just can’t seem to do that. Stick to what your doing, I keep coming back and so do many more.

Well, if you’re me you just don’t post. I DO NOT suggest you do that, though! I’d miss you and don’t think what you’ve been posting is crap!

You mean people post in advance and don’t just write what ever the hell comes to mind that day? Hmmm…Well, not me.
And nicely done on that 20 000 feed readers. Show off. Snicker.

I’m definitely a seat-of-the-pants blogger, too. But I intended it, from the beginning, to be something my daughter could have someday, to get detailed glimpses of what our lives were like at any given moment, and I think it does that. Even that last post was not conceived until AFTER I took the pictures, which I did to document whether the stuff was really working or not. “Hey! Humiliating oneself always works!”

Well I sometimes post-date something if I suddenly have an urge to write about something and I’ve already posted for the day. I verrrry rarely post more than once a day. I found that when I do, my numbers go down???
As for coming up with something to write about, my posts are better if I just quickly get it all out, do a few edits and then publish. If I stew over it too much, they end up sucking. Not that the majority of my posts don’t suck, but they suck even harder if I put too much thought in it!

Internet fame is NOT worth all those blowjobs, my friend. Not worth it.

I’m so glad that I’m not alone in the write it and post it immediately club. And I’ve been blah lately, postwise, too. But my blah is obviously not as popular as your blah - not that I’m bitter.
