A severe case of blogger’s block

posted in Blogging, OmegaMom |

I mean, aside from being Really, REALLY sick for an eternity (read: weeks).  And cooped up inside due to inordinately misery-generated low low low temperatures.  And having no brain to speak of.

But:  Yes.  A case of blogger’s block.  This is what has kept me from posting lately.  I open up LiveWriter, am presented with a lovely, pristine blank space of white waiting for my pearls of wisdom to flow forth, and…

…nothing.

Big, fat, nothing.

I have ideas.  Oh, yes!  Ideas!  Seeds of posts.  Waiting for that Divine Spark to flourish, grow, blossom, blah-de-blah-de-blah.

But it’s winter, yannow.  So the seeds of posts just wait, beneath a blanket of icy cold snow, wait for my brain to engage again.

Um.

I swear I have a brain in here somewhere.

Hi!  Did you know yesterday was Official De-Lurking Day?  I didn’t.  So can we have an Official OmegaMom’s Delurking Day?  And have some of my commenters (regular or not) just say something, anything, ask me a question, tell me “There, there, everything will be all right, the sun will come up tomorrow–Tomorrow Is A Brand-New Day!”?  Puh-leeze?  I’m feeling lonely and brain-dead and would appreciate some outside input.

    Hey, I was thinking about you yesterday as I was shopping for jeans. Did you ever find the perfect pair?

    Hi! De-lurking. I read every single post - mostly through my Reader. Hope you all get a warm up and you feel better soon!

    There, there, everything will be all right, the sun will come up tomorrow–Tomorrow Is A Brand-New Day! yadda yadda yadda.

    Now go write a post on 101 things to do with dryer lint! Or some hilarious thing Dotter said recently.

    And feel better!!! We’re about to get your artic blast down here - I’m not looking forward to sub freezing temps in GA!

    Hey you. I’m not a lurker, but sending you good wishes and juju anyway.

    I want to hear more about living in Alaska. Do you think you will stay there forever? Is milk $7 a gallon? How can you get your car to start in -25 degree weather? Is it even warm there in the summer? Are you glad you moved there? Do you go crazy when it is light out 22 hours a day? I want to know more!

    Dude, It’s a balmy 17F here in Boston with a windchill of -5!
    Must be a heat wave to you!

    Do Alaskans feel left out of the United States? I saw a flag today with 48 stars and wondered if others felt that way about Alaska and Hawaii. Or just that company.

    I think we are going to get blasted with “cold for DC” but in my estimation just plain cold-to-be-outside-for-hours just in time for the inauguration. The weather site tells me it is 27 and feeling like 19 today and expected to dip to a low of 10 tomorrow night (ugh).

    I must thank you for the many great science blog recommendations! They have filled up my g-reader.

    Hoping you feel better and soon

    Woman! You sent your cold - freaking air my way. Schools are now cancelled because of a “wind chill warning” and I know it’s because you sent it all the way from Alaska! ;)

    It is cold and I’m sitting here thinking “But Kate would think this was balmy!” It is supposed to get to -17 tonight and winchills very danger. I hate the cold. What happened to summer?

    It’s frickin’ cold here in MN. My brain is too frozen to think. I don’t know how you make it in Alaska, especially since you’re newbies.

    But no school closures here. We’re tough in the big city.
