It’s time to write my blog post but I have nothing to write. I had a lot of ideas yesterday, and even a couple of hours ago, but I forgot to write them down and now I’ve forgotten what they were.
What do you do when you face a blank page and nothing will come? Do you give up? Believe me, I sure feel like giving up right now. However, I promised myself that I would post more in my blog so that it becomes a habit again like it used to be so I can’t give up. I have to write something.
I could write about the latest cute things that Anderson is doing. I could tell you about how he makes me crack up when we’re in the car, just him and I. Like yesterday, it was just the two of us running errands and my mind was preoccupied so I guess I wasn’t talking to him and then I heard him from the back seat. “Hi,” he said. I said “hi” back and he said it back and I said it back and it went on and on for about five minutes straight then he finally cracked up and laughed…a big, deep, genuine belly laugh…and that made me laugh. So there we were, cracking up in the car and probably people in other cars thought I was crazy because of course they only saw me cracking up and not him in his car seat in the back. But I won’t tell you about that because you’re all probably tired of hearing about Anderson.
I could tell you about how I decided to make candy last night and I started a lot later than I should have because it was so, so hot and I didn’t want to be standing over the hot stove stirring the crystallized sugar mixture. It was quite late and I didn’t realize the whole thing was going to take about four hours. I was so very tired by one in the morning that I accidentally burned my fingers on the crystallized sugar and it was so thick and gooey that I couldn’t just shake it off or wipe it off and I had a heavy pan in one hand so it took me a bit to put the pan down where it would not burn anything and the mixture wouldn’t scorch and then get across the kitchen to the cold water to run my fingers under it. No, you don’t want to hear about that so I guess I won’t tell you.
I guess I’ll have to leave the page blank because I just can’t think of anything to write.
well for a blank page.. this isn’t half bad!!! this is exactly what i do when i cant write.. i just talk to myself..

When I can’t think of anything to write, I just quit writing for a couple of years. Probably not what you were looking for, huh?

Nah, not really but I know what you mean. That’s why I had to write something or it will be a long time before I get back here to write again!

You did pretty good for nothing to write about. 🙂
Images help me write. I start with one and the next thing I know, my blog post is written. For me, the two go together in some way — writing and photography. I’ve tried to separate them, but I always come back to putting them together.

I like picture prompts, too. However, it usually has to be someone else’s picture and I can’t know it’s a prompt. I have to just spontaneously come across it and start to write about it.
I like your photos + writing. It suits you and they do go together.
