Searching for Lost Mojo

Why yes I did order coffee, bacon and fruit for breakfast.

Why yes I did order coffee, bacon and fruit for breakfast.

I seem to have lost my writing mojo. I’ve forgotten that I write this blog for me, and me alone. That it’s therapy. I got lost in in my stats and my lack of comments and actually thought long and hard about just shutting it down.

Then I realized that I would be shutting down my favorite creative outlet. And my excuse to go to BlogHer Food in Seattle next weekend. And BlogHer in NYC this summer. And Bloggy Bootcamp in Las Vegas in October. And drink cocktails with hoards of strange women that’s, as it turns out, are not just invisible friends from Twitter.

In order to reclaim my lost mojo, and force myself to be creative, I’m joining the June NaBloPoMo and will be posting every day this month. For me. For therapy. With my assistant Beaker, who will be featured in each days photo.

I apologize in advance.

Signed,

Just when you think Comments sections are friendly, a rogue comes along and breaks your heart.

Bloggy Boot Camp, you say?  And might there be margaritas?  Sounds like a plan to me.  i've been blogging for several years but have never done it every single day, one after another.  I'm more the six posts one day, another post five days later -- the basic erratic approach that's fulfilling to me, if not anyone else.  Enjoyed reading your post.

@marycartledgehayes Welcome to my blog - and to nablopomo! I tried to leave a comment on yours, but was having a hard time proving I wasn't a robot for some reason. And hell yeah there might be all kinda of cocktails!

My latest conversation: Canning. Not caning.

you've inspired me.  hopping on this bandwagon.

Good luck! I did it once before. It was challenging, but felt great to finish!

 DeadCowGirl I did Reverb10 at the end of 2010, but haven't committed to anything since.  Hoping I can stick it out!  also...looking forward to your insights.  I love your writing (obviously).
