my out of the funk list….
So here’s another post where I talk about the fact that I haven’t been writing everyday and I’m sorry. Except that’s not all true. I have been writing, in fact I’ve been writing a lot. I just haven’t been posting.
I’ve been writing blog posts, I’ve been working on a book, and I finished my screenplay (well it might need a few editing’s) I just haven’t posted anything.
I’ve been in a funk. Which then got worse, and seemed to spiral. I’ve been feeling for lack of a better word LOST. But maybe I’m just scared, and maybe for one of the first times ever alittle self conscious about my blogging…..and maybe about myself.
I’m not in a work funk or a social funk, and I am far from a dating/love life funk, I’m just sorta in a funk about blogging….a funk about this information super highway where we all put our words out there.
So in true Lost Plum fashion as I pull myself out of this funk (I’ve got so many hot and exciting things to help with that!)
I decided to make a list.
6 Things I love about this Blog.
1. The Layout and Design. I like things that look clean and aren’t full of jumbled up crap. It flows nicely, has nice white spacing, and isn’t hard on the eyes (much like yours truly)
2. The ability to vent, share, and let my creative voice flow. Having an outlet that doesn’t talk back (except for in the comments) is a nice release.
3. My new found friendships and readers. I love my twitter friends, my blog readers, my commenter’s, the people that engage with me, and even the haters. Every single one of you (them) in every single way. Even if you judge me that’s ok, just know I don’t judge you back, I’m just happy to have you.
4. The amazing emails I get. There are tons, and I really do try to get back to all of them, I really do. Even the hate mail I read and see the “good” in doing so. I love the perspective all the comments and questions bring to my life.
5. My little avatar/header/photo/ME. The picture reminds me of good great friends! And reminds me of great times in my life. It makes me smile, smirk and tip my glasses while I raise my eyebrow.
6. That no matter what I can add even something silly like this to the pile and it gets me out of a certain funk…..at somewhat.
well lost of us love you! Get out of that funk plum and back on the blogging train!
you are the last person i thin of when i think blogging funk. you are always upbeat and wonderful to read. even if its not everyday its always a pleasure..keep it up!
great post and glad your finding your way out of your funk!
We all go through funks of different kinds. It’s no shock for someone to need a mental reset before writing. I’m go through the funk at least once-a-week. But, thank you for sharing. I’m reminded that sometimes you can write about the fact that you can’t write.
I always find it weird when someone writes about exactly what you are feeling…well not exactly…funk specific…blogish related…close enough…and I know that it’s not some kismit thing but really just that we are all connected by “the human experience” blah blah blah what was my point here…hmmm…oh yeah…basically I posted on Twitter that I was in a funk aka my post requesting a PEP TALK and I got three of the most amazing responses to my woes…so I am totally with you…Hooray for #3
lol oh and I forgot the most important part…I heart your blog…and it’s clean sharp layout (I’m green with envy…as mine is…in progress lol)…so yeah glad to hear you’re psyching yourself back into it and out of the funk :)
I’m pretty sure your funk was just because I was in South America and not able to read or comment. I’m back now so all is well :D
I like your header and tweeting with you!
