- They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself. —-Andy Warhol
Although writing is part of my job, I suffer from writer’s block when it comes to keeping this blog alive. The easy way out was to ignore it till I have something to share. Then, work and other things in life take over and before I know it, this blog is almost dead. I got a reminder email from the company that hosts this blog, checking if I wish to keep the domain name and space for another year, I struggled to make a decision.
In all honesty, I rather watch CSI when i have some time to rest rather than straining more brain cells to write a blog post. Bloggers should know, writing a blog post can some times be very time consuming.
A part of me has alot of things in mind to share – ie: last week’s CommunicAsia, an interesting book I read and some random thoughts about various topics…. The other part of me is just suffering from blog/ writing fatigue and I just don’t have alot of time to structure and write long, detailed posts like i used to…
But last week, Yahoo! invited a group of bloggers to CommunicAsia to share with them the launch of the new Yahoo! Mobile. Some of them are old friends of mine and some I only know them via their blogs. After the session, I read some of their blogs and a couple of them wrote some amazing stuff. When I say “amazing”, i didn’t mean that they wrote positive reviews (well, most of them did anyway) about the product we shared with them, but more importantly, i started reading other posts they wrote and I developed “blog envy”…
While I always find some local bloggers’ blog posts a little too frivolous for my liking, but they have their fair share of readers. What I really admire is their passion for writing, the sharing of knowledge and a platform for expression … Something i used to do.
So, finally, … (since I am having a day off from work and was just sticking my ass to the couch, eyes glued to Criminal Minds and had some mind space to think), I decided that I’ll attempt to change some things in my daily lifestyle and find time to blog but perhaps, not stressing over the length of the posts but more of the content that matters to me, to people who still drop by this blog.
So, stay tuned for more posts …

yeah it isn’t easy to blog all the time or have things to say…
but here’ are some suggestions, just blog about the things you do in life (e.g., watching CSI), your observations, encounters, ups & downs, etc, etc…
of how about take a picture and blog on it?
you can do it!
it’s been almost 3 months since you last blog…
k.i.s.s. – keep it short and simple then it wouldn’t be a less fun thing to do then to delve into criminal minds and minds that nab such criminals…
hope to see you blog again!
cheers!
