Empty

I’m going to be honest, I almost didn’t write a blog today. My life has been a bit dry lately, and I have not had any ideas for blogs, other than working on the novel on Saturdays. Lately, my creative side has been running on empty and to be honest, I don’t know how to fix it.

Running on Empty

I think the hardest part of being a writer is when you hit those moments where you are running on empty. You try to think of creative things to write and end up hitting a wall. For my blogs, which are based on Life with Stephanie, it’s hard when there is nothing going on. I work, sleep, and I’m trying to get all my stuff moved and find space for it all. There is nothing exciting about that. Who wants to read ten blogs on packing and moving? Not me.

I Have Ideas

Now, this doesn’t mean that I’m completely empty. I have ideas for blogs that I want to write, but I can’t just yet. I can’t afford to do the things I want to blog about. When I want to write about going to hockey games and travelling, or trying different experiences, but I can’t afford it, it’s hard. My life, in my mind, is just not exciting enough to write anything right now. And it sucks.

You Can Help

I could really use your help. Some of you have been following my blogs for quite a while now. What are some of your favourites? I have heard from a few of you that you’re loving the novel. If I don’t post before noon, you’re wondering where the next chapter is. That’s great, but I can’t just make this about posting chapters of a novel. What other blogs have you enjoyed? Maybe there is a topic you want me to cover that I haven’t yet. If I have any knowledge or opinions on it, I can give it my best shot. Is there a movie you want me to review, or a TV show? What do you want to read about?

Possibilities

I know the possibilities are endless. There are so many things I could write about. I just need to think about it. Maybe I should try and take some time this week and make a list of things I could write about. I am contemplating picking up my fitness journey again. However, that will need to wait until I’m all moved into the hotel. Once I’ve moved in, perhaps I can do some more recipe blogs, once I can start cooking again. I guess we will see what happens. I do know that there is some training I want to try out. Perhaps I’ll blog about that.

Going From Empty to Full

I will do my best to get back on track with my blogs. I do love that on Saturdays I know I’m putting out a new chapter. Perhaps I can find some other topics to regularly work on. What I do know is this. I’m tired of running on empty and scrambling each blog posting day to come up with another blog. The more I think about it, the less I think I’ll do YouTube. Writing is my passion. I would rather write more than film something, if I’m being honest with myself. However, I’ll need more content, so that you have something to read. We’ll see. After all, anything can happen if I try.
