10 Excuses For Not Blogging Today
“Oh, the irony” is a phrase I use way too often, but it fits well when considering I last wrote a post called ‘Whatever happened to…?’ and then proceeded to go MIA myself. Cue tumbleweed.
They sent out a search party and I was found wandering in the mountains, having gotten lost somewhere between the living room and my desk. Well, that’s not entirely true; I’ve been busy at work, have been heading Up North the past few weekends and training for the local half marathon, which takes place in a fortnight. I can now run 18km in one go, which has improved my fitness but affected my blogging stamina.
But those are really rather lame reasons. Here are some better excuses for not blogging (break them out when someone asks why your blog is inactive):
1. I’m busy/asleep
2. The dog ate my blog
3. It’s cold outside, which has affected my metabolism which has affected my typing
4. I’m too worried about the rising cost of fuel and the tumbling of the Dow
5. My new Wii Fit virtual yoga regime is eating up all my time
6. I can’t stop playing that YouTube video of treadmill kittens
7. They’re watching me (not the treadmill kittens, more of a general paranoid ‘They’)
8. My religion forbids blogging on Sundays
9. I haven’t upgraded to Wordpress Vista Future Super Awesome 2.0 Bound To Crash
10. Every time I don’t post, a fairy gets its wings

Good excuses, but that’s not gonna get you off the hook so easily. You’re going to have to sign an ‘I will post everyday’ pledge. Better make it blood, so there won’t be any loopholes.
June 10th, 2008 at 3:07 pmI recommend Twitter, 140 characters at a time is much more manageable as a commitment. Hell you can even Tweet via text while you’re training… you wouldn’t be the first to do it.
Last week I posted a tweet while I was… oh never mind, NSFW.
June 12th, 2008 at 1:47 pmI can so relate–I guess lots of fairys got their wings from my mia!
June 12th, 2008 at 3:31 pmO.K. I agree with these exuses and some. I am new to blogging and decided to blog about my journey into the stock market: http://www.ourstockmarketjourney.blogspot.com/
Although I love to blog, I must admit, that sometimes I may not feel as energized as at other times. During the times that I am not energized, I noticed that my posts are not as engaging are exciting as they are at other times. I’d love to know what others do to fight the “dullness” that can come over you when it is time to blog; especially after a long and hectic day and night. Please, let me know, what’s the secret to the SUPER BLOG POWERS!
Be well.
June 19th, 2008 at 6:41 amGreat excuses haha… I can definitely relate!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:33 amReally good excuses, Here is another one you can add to the list. (It takes time)LOL! You have to know what you are writing before you write and know what won’t work too. It takes time and practice, But you will get it eventually.
