Blog Slump

I have been a little M.I.A. recently from this blogging world. I really can't pinpoint why, but I have been very unmotivated to write a blog. Or maybe it's not even unmotivated, perhaps it's more like uninspired. No thoughts have been coming to me that make me relate my life to Star Wars in a big way or inspired to write a blog.

I feel that usually my thoughts are overflowing with Star Wars thoughts and there are so many connections to my life and the movies that I want to write at least three blogs at once. But for about the past month I have been at a loss, as dry as the Tatooine deserts. So I racked my brains trying to find a character in the Star Wars universe (excluding EU) that at one point was unmotivated. I couldn't think of any.

I haven't been ignoring the Star Wars blogs and I wish I was more on top of things to at least look at my fellow bloggers' sites, it's just that I have been a dead tauntaun on Hoth. I have also been extremely busy lately, but that's never been a huge problem before. In the beginning it was my excuse for not writing but now I'm a little worried. It got to the point that I was almost unmotivated to write a blog on how I'm unmotivated. I didn't want to write this blog because I was hoping something would strike my fancy but the longer time passed, I realized it was bothering me more and more so I had to write this blog.

Could this be referred to as a "blog slump"? I'm not exactly a writer so I don't believe I could call it a "writer's slump." Yet they are based upon the same thing: no fresh ideas. Help?

I started doing survey questions twice a week. And Stooge does a joke every day, (Except now that he's gone fishing and MM13 is filling in.) I think the blogs have all been a little slow.

Everyone goes through a blog slump (that's a pretty appropriate term). I remember when I first started, I was blogging so hot and heavy, then all of a sudden, nothing.

The best thing to do is watch one of the movies, or even have a marathon. I took some notes while I was watching, and I wrote a couple of "I never noticed that before" entries. Before you know it, you'll be right back into it.

I agree, though, the blogs are nothing like they used to be. I was lucky enough to start blogging when it was at its best. I really miss the good old days. Hopefully, we'll be able to get that back.

Relax and have patience. You'll bet through it.

Hey acegrl ... it's no problem ... I sometimes struggle to get my thoughts out into a blog as well. Like you say, they sometimes come in big waves where I'm needing to write three blogs a day. And there are times where the well seems dry of ideas. But usually as I think of ideas to blog about, I'll write them down and return to them at a later date if I don't have time to write ... that way the idea isn't lost, and I get "re-inspired" as I start expanding on that thought again.

So no worries, I'm sure we all tend to get writer's block here from time to time. It may seem like the dark times, but the light will come!

Great idea, thanks. I haven't watched one of the movies for a while (aka 2 months or more, shocking I know) and I'm sure some ideas would come to me if I watched them or one again. Well, spring break is this upcoming week!

I'll write them down and return to them at a later date if I don't have time to write
Great call, DH! I know that sometimes ideas will come and I'll soon forget them.

Thanks everyone, hopefully I'll have a better blog entry soon.
