Writer's Unblock: deciding what to post

Many of my writer friends, both online and offline, have witnessed a stage of writer's block that has caused them to lose the desire to move forward with their work or hobby. I'm the opposite. I maintain dozens of blogs, 2 print newsletters, and have even written 2 full-length novels in the past 2 years. I love to write, and I can't stop writing once I start.

This is a curse, I'd say. I have so many unpublished posts that it's hard for me to figure out what to post and how often. I hate to produce TOO MUCH for readers to go through, but I also don't like to have days of bland and boring post topics. Today I decided I'll work on what I want to post and stick to it.

For those who experience or are experiencing writer's block, I find it really advantageous to keep a mini-journal of things I do every day: "Saw Tom. Ate salmon. Cooked a pie. Wanted to bang Nina." Etc, etc. It works to help keep my active writer's mind motivated to write deeper about any of the things I've done that may flow into a longer term topic.

I've journaled, privately, for 20+ years. I still have all those journal entries (typed into plain text since day one) and have decided I'm going to write about 4 different main topics: businesses/jobs I've had, women I've loved and lusted over, friends who mattered, and food I've cooked. They're all interesting stories, and I have enough of my past set into written stone that I can pull information from a variety of journals to create interesting stories that some of you will love.

That'll take time, but thankfully I type 150+ wpm, so it won't be too long. Plus the fact that I am horny beyond even spring's break gives me good ammunition to re-read some of my own conquests and failures in the bedroom, stories which are always comical and fun and sexy.

Off to read my own autobiography now.

Thank you, dear readers, for your support

I was a little bit surprised by the influx of emails and the random anonymous people hitting me up on my chat window (see the right sidebar). Even though I have a few part time projects I work on, writing has always been my passion. I've been writing online for over 20 years, if you can believe it.

This blog was meant as a history of my life. I started it back in late 2008 but put it to bed when I thought it wasn't useful for me. How wrong I was. Since I restarted it in early Spring of 2009, I've kept a good amount of small notes that I will have forever to read and review and think over. But moreso than the words I write, the words you write are so much more important.

There are many of you who come every day, read, and leave. I don't know who you are, where you're coming from, or what it is about this site that attracts you. I enabled completely anonymous comments for every article, so you can feel free to air your thoughts of grievances without anyone know who you are. Just select "Anonymous" when leaving a comment.

I started tracking some basic traffic around April 22nd, less than one month ago. Here's a chart of visits and views over that time:



As you can see, what started as a handful of traffic (mostly me, probably) is now growing at a nice pace. We're seeing days when 100 different people come by, looking at 3-4 pages on average. I'm glad I can give you some insight into my life; I'd love to hear about how my articles affect you. Anger? Intrigue? Spite? Horniness? Hope?

You are visiting me from everywhere, and I love seeing those cities and countries flash across my screen: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Italy, Belgium, Central America, and locals here in the States from Illinois, Indiana, Oklahoma, Washington State and DC, Florida, Texas, California and so many more. I don't know who you are, but I do want to thank you. Whether you come once and leave so you can berate me on your blog, or you stick around (and berate me here), I appreciate the time you spent visiting when there are so many more blogs out there with better writing, better topics and better value.

I'd love to interact more with the bloggers out there. If you wrote an article you think would pertain to something I speak about, drop me an email (see the sidebar) and I'll give you a link and the little opinion of yours truly.

I hope you stick around, and I hope you take a few minutes more to leave a comment. I write for me, but I also think about you.
