Why I Haven’t Written a Blog Post in Three Months
I’m now officially living my web 2.0 life to the fullest, hereby inviting unsuspecting readers to get a glimpse of some of my personal problems by posting them on my blog. I think I know all of my readers by name, so it should be OK. It probably won’t be a habit, I’m merely presenting this as a backdrop for my new plan to get back in shape — at least I think so.
You see, I’ve been sick. I am sick. I’m having a virtual writer’s block and I’m not at work at the moment. I’m trying desperately to force myself back to work and into shape, but it’s not going very well. I have written a series on Popdose.com over the past several months, but I don’t know whether I will be able to continue to do so in the months to come. Pressure and deadlines don’t bode well with me at the moment.
It’s a small part of the puzzle, but I will try to force myself to post more regularly here on schiing, in an attempt to get back into some kind of writing flow at the very least. I’m not going to put much pressure on myself right now — the diagnosis is fatigue, and not being able to write blog posts is the least of my troubles. If on the other hand this may help me to recover… well, I just don’t know. I’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out, if it helps at all. Maybe it’s a bad idea, after all.
I still think it’s worth a try. Writing has always been therapeutic for me. Like this post; I’m primarily writing it for my own part — as a kind of diary entry, setting goals for myself, clarifying my situation — but writing in public makes me feel more… accountable for my words, I guess.
Anyhow, I mustn’t overdo it, so with these vague prospects and foggy thoughts I bid you farewell for now. See you soon.

Thank you, Robert. And wow, that’ s an amazing article. I can relate to it, because if I had to choose I would prefer writing over talking.
