The problem with blogging is that you have to always have something new to say.  Readers are not interested in hearing similar stories over and over again. 

This is why I sometimes go for long periods of time without any new posts.  Often my life is so mundane, I have no idea what I would write about that would interest people.  At other times, my life is chaos, and I wouldn’t know where to start.

These are not necessarily creatively “dry” periods for me.  I just don’t blog.  When my life is a tumultuous mess, I write horribly dark poems and short stories.  I sometimes think that I may attempt to get them published in a volume one day, but when I go back and read them, I actually frighten myself.  Do you think that happens to other writers?

The other side of my creativity is doing crafts, in particular, making handcrafted jewelry.  I’ve only been doing this for a few months, but I love it.  When life is calm, with not much going on, I like to sit down and make pretty, sparkly things.  Such a contrast from my esoteric poetry with its deep undertones.  I love the dualistic nature of humans, the good and the bad, the dark and the light, the male and the female, the yin and the yang.

So where am I going with this?  Nowhere.  I just wanted to explain why I sometimes go for a week or so with no new posts.  I don’t want to bore you with my banal daily living or scare the crap out of you with my insane ramblings about the state of my mental health.

So happy reading, and maybe I’ll have something interesting to say soon!
