Call it a hiatus, a holiday break… a seasonal slump, I just haven’t been writing much and I don’t really know why.

Maybe it’s my first really serious bout of Blogger’s Block, but for the life of me I just haven’t had any idea what I want to share here or how to get started writing again.

I was reading Brian Clark’s article, Blogging Is Dead (Again) and it motivated me to just sit and type something, anything into this blog and publish it.

I can agree that social networking has taken some of my steam out of the blog. I share my daily life on Facebook and Twitter with the folks I know and that sort of fulfills my need to explain what I’m doing.

In addition, it’s winter. Just damn winter. I don’t know what to do about it. I’ve spent a lot of energy on crafting and art. Cleaning the house and struggling to stay awake in between. This is the time of year when we are all getting into a slump here in northern climates. I predict within three weeks almost every office will have a controversy and every organization a disagreement.

My theory? People just start to really really dislike other people when we have to see too many of them. In the warm months, we are looking at the sky and the trees and the grass. We are travelling and gardening. We are walking and swimming. In the winter, we are trapped indoors dealing with other people.

I am a paradox. I’m an extroverted people disliker. I claim not to like other people then I can’t stop talking to them.

All I can say is: I’m still here. I suck. Oh well.
