Writer’s Block: Trouble for the Survival of a Blog
I was driving around looking at fall foliage the other day and came upon this street sign. For the first time in over a month or so, this made me think of blogging and I had to snap a picture of Trouble Street.
I love the fall and the foliage here in Massachusetts is just breathtaking. I take pictures of the fall foliage, but it is very difficult to capture the true beauty of New England in the fall with a camera.
In pictures, you can’t smell the fall in the air. The smell that says it is no longer summer, that leaves are changing colors and the snow is soon to fall. You can’t hear the crinkle of the leaves as you walk through a pile or the sound of people endlessly raking their yards in a fight against nature.
What does this have to do with Trouble Street?
Since I have been spending so much time outside enjoying the fall I have let my blog sit neglected, waiting for a random post, anything to keep the love alive. Here I am blog, it might only be a brief visit, but I worked hard over the past year to build you into the pile of muckety muck that you are and I haven’t forgotten you.
What I found funny and the posts I began with aren’t as interesting to me anymore. I think I am changing as a blogger, and although my google page rank will take yet another hit for being a clustered mess of unrelated material, I will slog on and focus on better writing.
It’s fall. The time to batten down the hatches, grab a few breaths of fresh air and hunker down for some serious hibernation.
