For Blake's edition of the Disability Blog Carnival:

1.      I decided school is more important then blogging

2.      Very few bloggable things have happened in the last few months

3.      I don’t seem to have the concentration to blog anymore (if you haven’t noticed, my posts tend to be long)

4.      I like sleep

5.      I’m trying to spend less time online

6.      My life seems to be revolving around people, as opposed to more abstract things like disability culture, and I don’t think those people want to be blogged about, as much as I’d like to blog about them.

Why I’m Sad I Don’t Blog Anymore

1.      I like the connection with other uppity activist crips and the feeling of community

2.      I think it would improve my mood w/o hurting as much as the gym did Thursday

3.      I think it would help me to deal with said people mentioned above

4.      I know people want to read my stuff and I want to write for them

5.      I’d rather waste time blogging then waste time the way I have been lately

 

Can someone please tell me how to get my mojo back?

    I've definitely experienced some ups and downs. What's helped me has been to add blogging to my schedule. Once i get started, the rest comes pretty easily. If I totally lose focus, I can always save my draft because I use Windows Live Writer. Don't stress too much about it though!

    Don't stress at ALL about it.......write what you feel......and only when you feel like it.......it's more sharing.....than teaching......it's a way of communicating what's going on with you.......how you feel about it........and if by sharing......there's anything we can do to help.......so just do it when you want to.......no....have to's............it'll get easier......and more enjoyable........best of luck to you......i'll keep an eye out for your......blogs !.......peace and love.....Norma
