I’m trying out this *blogging without obligation* thing lately, have you noticed?
😉
My camera’s been collecting dust this week and that makes it hard to write anything here. Anyone else mostly write that way; with an image to spark an idea to write about?
Anyhow… I thought I should check in and let you all know that I’m still alive and busy and running around like the proverbial chicken without a …
Hope everyone’s having a nice weekend!
I’m like that too. Images help hold up my posts, since I usually don’t have anything of use to say.
Mmmm…chicken….
Yup ….
I find it REALLY hard to write anything without pictures to spark it. I think the blogging without obligation thing is good. I get caught up in writing, however.
Sometimes the picture sparks the words. Some times it’s the other way around, and I feel the need to find a picture or take one to fit the words. Either way, I think a picture really helps.
I like your bright, colorful chicken
Now, THAT would have been an interesting picture….lol… just kidding. Glad you are well and just busy! :c)
I usually end up with waves of suitable stuff. In a day’s walk I may find 3 appropriate subjects that I focus on, then brew for a couple days as I compose text to set them up. But, without the pictures, the stories just don’t grab the readers to visit.
Other days, I may resort to my archives for something from last year that I never worked on. I’m surprised how much I leave in my photo folder, never shared!
Yes, I tend to be a picture-sparks-word blogger too. After a soggy February, it’s been hard to find something to say about leaden gray skies and choppy seas. So, silence over at Dharma Bums. I sense a transition in the blogging world, and I can’t tell if it’s just me or a whole cohort of bloggers who came on line a couple of years ago. A slower pace.
I recently had two weeks of no obligation to the blog. I loved it. Camera collected dust. It’s all good, Laura!
“Blogging without obligation”… now I know what to call my current blogging mode! 🙂
