Good Saturday morning readers….today I write you with some heartbreaking news….I have writers block. I counted 16 unfinished blogs saved on my desktop that I have attempted to complete time and time again without success. I have a library of materials from a freshly created recruiting campaign, but you don’t come here to read that. You all know that I posted 2 to 4 blogs per day from August 2008 to December 2008 and although not every blog was stellar, they flowed from me with little effort and changed my life dramatically through the clarity my writing provided.
A professional writer once told me that my articles and essays had a sensibility about them that attracted her back time and time again to my blog. I now feel senseless and disengaged from what seemed like a never-ending stream of profound “aha’s”. I could sit with my laptop propped on my knees and pump out a seamless thousand words in less than 45 minutes. Today I find myself at a loss, staring blankly into my screen after forcing a lackluster paragraph or two and waiting hours for just a glimpse of inspiration. I am concerned about running out of “blogging gas” and as selfish as this sounds its not because of the lack of content I am providing my readers….I am concerned because I blogged for my own personal growth and clarity, I felt great and enlightened each time I clicked “publish”. That aha stream has dried up for now and I take that as a sign of a decline in my personal growth. I need your help.
Mike Rowe, host of “Dirty Jobs” on the Discovery Channel always closes his shows with a plea from his fans for new ideas. This is my plea today…..share your Aha’s with me about sales, the real estate industry, mindset, life in general. Challenge me….I’m looking for your inspiration.
I have to thank Sherrie Puffer of Keller Williams Realty for a very deep Facebook exchange that led to my first real aha I have had in some time about Commitment vs. Compliance. This is the fuel I need from my readers today to kick start my writing again.
I say that I don’t have time to blog anymore….that is true because when you force it it takes to long but I miss writing daily. So this is what I am asking for in hopes of creating enough aha’s, written in just the right way, to inch me closer to my goal of being a published author.
Comment on this post simply with what is on your mind and allow me to create a blog based on your comment. I’m looking to take the ordinary in life and make it extraordinary. A single phrase can be the catalyst for a 2000 word essay that changes my life and hopefully intrigues you. I’m asking all of you to be my muse this Saturday morning.
Thank you in advance.
