Blog About Nothing

My blog post today is about nothing.  I suspect most readers of blogs would say they have encountered many a post about nothing.  I am new to blogging – both writing and reading - so I am not really versed enough to offer an opinion, but my suspicion is that all blog posts are usually about something - at least about something of importance to the author.

However, in this case, I will admit my post is about nothing.  I am actually frustrated about this because it means I have fallen into a bout of writer’s block.  Do they call it writer’s block in cyberspace?

When I began this blog less than two months ago, I admitted in my initial post that I really didn’t know what I would be blogging about.  Some of the best practices sites I have reviewed said you should develop a theme, or image that is your blogging approach.  That is the best way to attract readers to your site.  Anyone who has read my various posts knows I haven’t done that.  I have written about President Obama’s Nobel Prize, the Philadelphia Phillies attempt to win another World Series, the passing of the family pet, and my week-long revisit of our family’s trip to Disney World in 2000.  But two weeks after my tribute to our cat Pumpkin, I am left wondering what to blog about now.

Perhaps this lack of creativity is due to the pending holidays and being concerned about getting those last few presents.  Maybe nothing interesting is going on in my life, or the world.  Or maybe I am just working to hard and have nothing left for my personal blog.  Any of these could be possible – but it is probably that I have just hit a period of non-creativity.

So, in keeping with the spirit of the title of this blog post, I should make sure I don’t go on too long about nothing.  I will, however, end with one small request.  I don’t really know how many unique people are viewing my posts – but to those of you who are curious enough to visit – please add a comment or two to this post.  Tell me how you think I have been doing as a new blogger, and if you have any ideas about topics you would like to see me cover in the next weeks and months, I welcome your ideas!
