A case of the Blogcks

Darn it, I have a major, major case of the Blogcks, that nefarious condition that sneaks up on you in the busyness of everyday life. The blogcks is a very shady pseudonym for Bloggers Block or Writers block, that i not so inspiringly have decided to write about today.

Yes, the blogcks…this is whats happening to me now. For days so much has been going down in my life, the Master sometimes doesn’t go easy on His trials of fire, and i’ve been feeling the need to vent and rant on here but I couldn’t. My mind would go blank everytime I think about blogging. Strange. But i’m sure all you bloggers have experienced a case of the blogcks.

I guess it also comes down to an unconcious pressure that comes from being a part of a vibrant blogging community. Like some unspoken expectation that everyday, you log on to blogspirit looking to see what everyone has written. Then you start getting this nawing feeling in the back of your skull that you aren’t on the days updated list. So you feel the need to write something clever, something moving cause everyone else’s entries are just so darned good and you can’t stand not to be counted. Ego demands it.

But, here’s the catch. For the life of you, you can’t seem to think of anything that will be good enough. Your mind goes further into the blank. Soon you start screaming at your inner self. “What the effin hell is wrong with you, you’ve got tonnes of stuff you can blog about.…Yeah but i’m really busy write now and besides, the internet keeps timing out.” Excuses, self condemnation, guilt, ego, Blogcks.

So there we go. I’ve added an entry that you’ll all stumble onto shortly. It’s not pretty, clever, probably not too interesting but it will give the allusion that I’m as good a blogger as the best of you. And you’ll respect me. And you’ll keep trying to find out what other shenanigans i’m gonna get up to on my blog. And the next thing that will happen, several undeserved bloggers awards?! Mwah ha ha ha ha

Er…probably not.

Alot more Blogcks me thinks.

Shalom

    Thought I was the only one who felt like that.

    But it’s ok not to give in to the pressure.

    Take a leaf from our local artistes. Releasing a new song each day hasn’t made their music any better. Gone are the days when musicians would take their time to produce really good songs. People like the late Elly Wamala never gave in to such pressure but some people still enjoy his music long after he is gone. Anyway, I could be wrong. That is what I think.

    Take Foculate. It’s a new herbal supplement for creative people and really helps to get the creative juices flowing. It helped me get out of a bout of bad writer’s block. It is full of stuff that breaks down stress and anxiety and then infuses you with focused energy so you can get things going. It’s part of my morning ritual now and I have noticed a huge difference.

    First read that as a case of the bollocks…

    The block happens to everyone, even seasoned writers.

    The beauty about blogging is you don’t have to write to impress anyone, just do yo thang. You can’t produce diamonds everytime.

    Just like everything else, you gotta push yourself. Write even about nothing. It’s better than allowing your mind to get used to the blogcks.

    Foculate reminds me of my Mom and her GNLD products.

    Thus guys like me can get to write just out of the everyday happenings. I could even write about my toothpaste or shower skip that morning.

    I do tend to delay in writing sometimes because of the tite schedule and reading the lots of other blogger’s posts o/w I have what I’ll call backup posts for those times of story famine
