Blogger's Block

By The Daily Dish
May 2 2008, 4:55 AM ET

I guess it was bound to happen eventually:

I've been trying everything to break through my blogger's block – even to the point of going to a writing class in UCLA. (which is great, but doesn't have much bearing on blogging so far) Generally the best way to start blogging again may be to announce that I'm taking a hiatus. Then again, I've been on an unofficial one since about Christmas, so perhaps not.

When you first start blogging, everything in your life becomes fodder for 'ooh, I might blog about that'. After a couple of years, and especially if you're in a job where you can't really write about your area of expertise, the dry spells appear. And life intervenes. For months after I moved to L.A. I could barely think of a thing to blog about. It reminded me of how after my university finals, I literally could not read a page of a book for a couple of months. Eventually that wore off. For the last month or more, there are absolutely all manner of things I think of blogging about. And I just can't seem to write about any of them.
