Unsatisfactory Fluff, Perchance On Top of Ol’ Smokey


Three.
Two.
One.

Nope, I still don’t know what to write about for this post. The trouble = I am writing anyway. Which means I could really use some writing inspiration right about…now. Shucks, that didn’t work either. Three times a charm?

But that’s the problem with blogging when you’re not a real, born again blogger:  You struggle for ideas, flounder around testing out potential posts, and wonder why you even bother. Some people were made for blogging; most of us weren’t; even fewer of us blog and pretend it’s something else. Then again, that’s life, sort of, isn’t it? There are experts and hobbyists, and hobbyists that pose as experts, and experts who pose as hobbyists. And of course those who don’t bother with said task/skill/industry/action/habit/career/visit/assignment/orangutan/orange. Gphlurp!

And yet again I hath fallen off the figurative cliff again – still not sure what to write about. Worse yet, this post isn’t even funny; it comes across as an imitation wannabe of two posts ago when I wrote about why I’d more or less fallen off the face of the planet (where is the face’s planet, by the way?). Then I was zany; now I faileth.

I think the point is, sometimes you’ve simply got nothing to say, and if you know me, that can’t possibly be the case, not even right now.

Gar!!!

Sometimes blogging is difficult…as any blogger discovers. Sometimes you need to plan what posts you’re going to write because otherwise you end up with one that’s no more than fluff. Which this is. But it’s a post. And it’s meaningless. And wow, are you still reading this? I feel sorry for you. But I posted it because…well, I guess because it’s a scribble.

You know what? I should have posted those poems I wrote (they morphed from a post attempt into full-fledged, worthwhile poems), but I kind of submitted them elsewhere instead. I’m waiting to hear back on them – nothing personal, but if I can make money writing what I want to, I’ll do that any day over writing what I want to for free (yes, I’m sure there’s an exception to that, but off the top of my head I can’t think of it).

Off the Top of My Head:

[can you believe you just watched that?…or will have just watched that?]

So…this is what you get when I neither plan, nor experience a burst of time-permitted inspiration – the number of genius posts that die because I ran out of time before finishing them is large. Anyway, this feels like too many of my posts from last July’s 30 Days 30 Posts, which means I am signing off for now. Until next time (which will hopefully be much better than this), auf wiedersehen! (see what I did there?)
