Blogtober Day 19: I Think I've Discovered The Problem

Writing has been difficult lately.  I think my blog has been reflecting that pretty well.  I've had the hardest time pinpointing what it is exactly that is blocking my brain.  I think I know what the problem is.

I stopped writing for myself. 

When I set up a blog, I went into it with the mentality that is was a way to help my writing grow.  I wanted to have a space to output my writing to a few people and keep in practice.  But now this whole blogging thing is getting into my head.  I read all these other blogs about motherhood and news and ethics... I keep feeling like these people have such great things to say.  I wish I had something to contribute too.  I want to sound important.

But I write fiction.

And you know what?  I've decided that is important too.

I'll still write about my life, and ideas and opinions and whatnot.  I just think I need to stop caring about who I'm writing for and do what is important to me.

Blogtober Day 16: I Don't Want To

I have absolutely no desire to write today.

This whole Blogtober thing?  I'm over it.

Don't get me wrong, I will finish what I started.  I'm no quitter.  I just feel like I don't have much to offer.  Or what I do have to offer is never going to cut it.

Yuck, pity parties are not attractive.  I'm sorry.

I guess I feel like my Blogging is unorganized.  Most people at least have some kind of a trend in their work.  I am so all over the place.  That's how I am though.  All over the place.  It isn't the worst thing, honestly.  I just need to commit and get more organized.

BLOGTOBER

For the entire month of October, there will be a blog post every day, which is quite the challenge, as you can imagine.

I have a lot of ideas, (some better than others), and I would appreciate lots of support and feedback as I crank out as much as my brain will allow.

Most of my writing takes place outside of my blog, but blogging is a great way for me to keep the creativity flowing, and feel in touch with my readers (few as you may be).

To those other bloggers and writers out there, puh-leaase join me!  It's going to be fun, and we can feed off each other as the month progresses.  If you don't blog, but want to give it a try, maybe this is the time to start!  Create whatever you want!  Writing is one of the best ways to get in touch with yourself.

Only ten days left!
