A: You know, that is an excellent question.
Q: That is far from an excellent answer. You only wrote one post in March. You ought to know that real bloggers post at least several times a week.
A: I am a real blogger. It’s still here, isn’t it?
Q: You’re being more evasive than a cat on bath day. Why haven’t you been sharing your wit with the fans lately?
A: I hope there are still fans out there! Please be patient, fans. I can explain my lack of posting thusly:
I have been looking for work and worrying about work. I have been thinking about money and worrying about money. I have been melancholic in this unusually cool and rainy California spring. I have been trying to “escape” from these problems through reading and watching movies and taking baths and walking (when weather and time permit), not to mention the usual errands such as grocery shopping, post office, laundromat, library, etc. Plus, taking care of Two Dogs.
None of the above really help me create new blog posts. But today, I have figured out what does: Finding a project and working on it.
Such as my “buzz piece”, as the authors of The Wealthy Freelancer suggest I create. (I just finished the book – excellent reading!) Or the personal website that is just about finished on Adobe Dreamweaver (don’t worry, I will announce when the site goes live). Or new business cards that match the design scheme of my buzz piece.
I believe that it takes awareness, and then action, to pull yourself out of a rut. Action without awareness usually ends up as just another trip to the grocery store. Awareness without action is just watching the wheels inside your head. Bring the two together, and good things start to happen. Just like now. Behold the new blog post!
Q: Finally.
A: I have been looking through old notebooks of mine. I plan to use some of the material in there to create new posts, as well as events that are happening in the here and now. So expect some great new posts this spring. Hey, I sound like a drive-in theater marketer, don’t I?
Q: That’s a great model.
A: And now, on with the show!
