Move over Harry Potter…I’m going to talk about a spell that most people know only too well. Yes, that is exactly what you think it is – the dreaded, the *eee* dare I say it, yes, the blogging distractus that takes one away from their ability to blog.

I have no idea why it happens nor how it happens. I only know that it happens.

Just the other day, I happened upon another blog site that offered this teensy view into the spell…

Let’s see here…It was the year 2002 – 78 posts. Then the next year – kind of bored – less than one per month. Ramping up to nearly seven times the posts the following year, and then KABOOM! huge momentum, and then back down to 38 then 12, then what…happened…to…2008 – apocalypse!

There you have it…you are officially made aware of the blogging distractus spell, and there is never ever any need to ever feel that you are ‘behind’… ‘not doing enough’… just blog and enjoy the process!

I’ve promised you all that I will blog nearly every day…and I’m feeling the effects of the blogging distractus so I’ve had to switch to new subjects, new topics, new sharing…some of these may not be deep, but that’s the lighter side of life!

*Author’s Note* – I’ve been writing *professionally* since I was 11 (well, if you count my stint at the Junior High newspaper). Anyway, I’ve had plenty of articles printed in publications that cost people money to read, and I have never, ever been able to sustain any type of writing for any long period of time without feeling like my eyeballs would bounce out of my head! For a long time I felt really bad about that, but this year (as you all know it was the year of *REALLY* loving myself), I just decided to BE OVER IT and just write whatever comes to me, and enjoy the process, and hope that somewhere, someone will be served by what comes to my mind. You just never know when Serendipity will take someone over to your blog to take a looksee about how often you’ve blogged over the last 7 years!

Oh, and speaking of things I LOVED, ab-fab, LOVED to do… waiting tables. Yes, you read it FIRST here… LOVED, LOVED, LOVED hearing people’s stories, serving them, and seeing them come back again and again – it was like having lots of friends without having a lot of friend time required – friends at work – what could be better??? Plus, I like this color nail polish… too.
