Writing Filler on the Writer’s Block
Boy its tough changing gears. After a year of Bush bashing, I attempt to expand my subject matter only to encounter writers block. What will we leftist bloggers do if the unthinkable happens – like if we get a Democrat in the White House? That just might put Kos out of business. Certainly After Downing Street’s days are numbered regardless of outcomes.
Wait… Do I hear cheering in the background?
Seriously: What to write when politics is removed from the equation? I could talk about my fabulous kid. You might take that for a day or so. Or write about my cats - ditto. Besides endless omphaloskepsism makes for dwindling audiences, and if I allow myself that vice my readership would fall into the negative numbers. Is that possible?
So here I go, attempting extemporaneous filler in compensation for writers block. Better that than regaling my (one) reader with “What I Did on Memorial Day Weekend.” See? I do care. Because I’ve said most all I can against our current crop of politicians, and because the nation is finally getting the drift of what whiners like me have been up to these past (almost) six years, I try to diversify. It’s almost like a new blog project, an idea that resurfaces time and again.
Maybe I should kick-start IdiotSynchracies. Some would argue that as a more fitting handle for my work, anyway. Hmm…
