I've counted my blessings. I've bemoaned my struggles. The most interesting stories seem to come from my children's lives; I hesitate to write about them, because the tales are theirs to tell, not mine.
I can't even continue the saga of the back porch caterpillars from last week, because they all died, presumably from heatstroke.
There is nothing new to see here; you can move on to the next blog!
Yet still you wrote! Congratulations for showing up even when you felt like you had nothing to add:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ms. Victor! Yes, there is something to keeping a streak going...
DeleteYour post is universal - we have all been there at some point, and yet you wrote through it despite. I also love that you added the little quote at the end. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christine. I don't think I've ever sat for so long staring at a blank screen!
DeleteCongrats for writing! That's certainly something to celebrate. I'm sorry about your caterpillars :(
ReplyDeleteThank you, Molly! Hoping more caterpillars show up on my plants. If at first you don't succeed...
DeleteI read your post first because I am feeling the same way this morning. I was thinking about not writing, but now, I will get something down. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm in good company then, Adrienne. Hope you are more inspired than I was today!
DeleteI will use this lesson with my students. When you have nothing to write about, write about having nothing to write about! Guess what? You wrote! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe whys and wherefores of a writer's block seem to be fodder enough, at least for a short post. Share away!
DeleteAs Judith Viorst says, "...some days are like that."
ReplyDeleteTotally, Karen! Will have more interesting events to report next week, for sure.
DeleteThe back porch caterpillars died from heatstroke, eh? You could write a eulogy for them. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is a splendid idea, Stacey. Heading over to draft one now...
DeleteThis is honestly my life right now. I have absolutely nothing going on at the moment except for homework and school and that still is pretty boring at the moment.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Alyssa! I couldn't even pick at a small moment to scribe. If it's boring to me, it's got to be the same for my audience, I figure.

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts don't differ much from many other commenters... yet you still wrote! Having just started this challenge I find myself already at a loss for what to write. Today your post encouraged me to keep pressing forward regardless of things that could hold you back!
