The Blog Blues

I keep a list of topics for future blogs. Sometimes the list is long ~ sometimes short.

The list is more happenstance than well thought out. It has no plan or pattern to it.

Before you can write anything though, you need to ponder. And before you ponder there needs to be a little kernel of thought. I cannot write “off the top of my head”.

In the back of my mind are old junior high school composition principles: first a rough draft, organize around paragraphs, use a good topic sentence. No wonder I’m experiencing the Blog Blues.

Maybe it’s the weather that is causing this writers block?

It was actually cold here last week. Floridians panic when they look in the closet for their one sweater. Yesterday afternoon I watched fog roll in off the Gulf of Mexico. Fog! The seagulls were bewildered and were seen flying east en masse. I assume they are resting safely this morning deep in the Everglades.

Magic spell-check tells me there are 163 words just above. Remember asking your English teacher, “An essay on spring? How long should it be”? At least one side of one page was always the answer.

Ah ~ I’m feeling better. Here’s half a page to feed the Clermont Blog.
