Dry Spell

I have been through a drought, a long dry spell.  I haven't had a desire or motivation to write which is exactly why I couldn't be a full-time blogger or even a weekly newspaper contributor.  Once you make a committment to a newspaper, you have got to come up with a column each week come hell or high water.  Lazy? don't want to write.  You have to.  Sick? can barely sit at the keyboard?  too bad.  It's what you get paid for.  Away on vacation?  So sad.  You gotta have that weekly column.  And a nationally known blogger?  you must have an entry at least every other day or we fickle citizens will quit checking in once a day.  We'll find another blogger that posts each day.

The Pioneer Woman has it figured out.  She has, what, five categories?  She actually has co-bloggers, well at least one for the Home Schooling category, anyway.  Maybe more.  Pioneer Woman doesn't blog every day in Confessions but if she doesn't have an entry there, there'll be a new entry in Cooking.  The Pioneer Woman has it figured out.  And she gives away great prizes (not that I can win even one : ( 

So back to me, I tried to recruit help.  I go through spells where I have so many articles in me that I auto scheduled them out 10-21 days.  But then I have droughts. Long, dry, unproductive spells where absolutely  nothing gets posted for days on end.   So I went and recruited Himself to write for Too at Twin Lake (orignally in III) and he did write some and he did help the interest level but he was more irregular than I was. 

And then he struck off on his own -- he has his own blog!  And he's excited and enthusiastic about it (and so am I) but now he'll never, ever write again in my blog.  There goes my co-producer.   I think and suppose. 

In the big scope of things, I guess where ever we write and whatever memories and activities and "moments" we can tell about and record for ever after, is good.  Limited or not.  And I already knew that I'll never, ever end up a famous, nationally known Blogger.
