So, I’m not feeling inspired right now. Honestly, sometimes writing and editing a daily blog can be a challenge. It’s like you are always on, you know what I mean? I constantly have to come up with ideas about what to blog about….and since it’s mostly a one-women-show around here (except for my sensational guest bloggers) all those ideas need to come from me. And then I need to implement those ideas, either myself or find some guest bloggers who can help bring them to life.
I don’t want to sound whiny, but today I’m just not feeling it. I’m like, “Ugh! Let my brain take a break already.” And it’s actually not that I don’t have any ideas—I have tons of ideas—but I lack the will or ambition to bring them to life. I have an editorial calendar, manilla folders filled with magazine tears, Firefox bookmark folders out the wazoo, inspiration boards, journals, sketchbooks, hipstamatic photos, a pinterest account, a bajillion flickr contacts and groups and have copious notes on legal pads and scraps of paper galore filled with ideas.
It’s just that nothing is speaking to me….I know someone out there must know what I’m talking about out there.
Is this thing on?
Anyway, today’s post is really nothing more than a post about how I’m not really blogging about anything today because I don’t feel like it. And you are going to have to be satisfied with that.
Oh, there are some pictures too.
xoxo and see you on Monday with a better attitude! 😉

Ahh… so you ARE human! Every other day I feel like that.
I SO understand. This week I can’t focus on any one thing so I only blogged once. Maybe next week we will all get our mojo back.
i think i’m going to coin a new term “creativity angst” to describe this lack of focus. what do you all think?
is that an apt description?
randa, that’s the felling for sure “the cylinders just don’t want to fire.”
O-M-G! i’m so glad i’m not the only one. I think my main problem is that i’m working on editing the latest issue of Joie magazine http://indiefixx.com/joie/index.html and that’s just taking every little bit of me that I have. It’s very labor intensive for one person to do and it sorta soaks up all my creativity.
I just got over that hump. 2 months of nothing inspiring to make much less talk about. Last week I started doodling 2×3 pictures in an effort to get my brain going and it finally broke through the wall I had hit. Did it ever! I am in the middle of an inspiration explosion and trying desperately to keep up with it all. So there is hope!
yes, I know exactly what you’re talking about–I’ve been feeling a bit this way myself this week, and also very restless—like I just can’t put my finger on exactly what I’d like to work on. Hope you have a calm and fill-you-up kind of weekend!
oh. my. goodness. you could not be speaking any more directly to me than if you and i were playing telephone with soup cans and string! i am completely in the same boat, so much so that i’m pretty sure my husband thinks the only words i can speak are “i just don’t wanna!”. i’m not trying to whine either, it just ain’t happenin’. i’ve got plenty of ideas, the cylinders just don’t want to fire. i’m so, so glad i’m not alone on this one! thanks for sharing. hopefully we’ll both be back on the ball next week! happy, happy weekend and here’s to inspiration striking in the very near future!
I know what you’re talking about Jen! Everyone’s allowed an off day (or two) aren’t they? xx
I totally understand! As an artist, a blogger and even when it comes to cooking dinner, sometimes I just don’t feel inspired. Thanks for the beautiful imagery.
