Calling in reinforcements

Every once in a while, I go through a bit of a blogging slump.

There just doesn’t seem to be much going on, and I don’t feel I write well enough to turn the daily mundane into the readable love story to life that some bloggers are able to.

I stand in awe of writers like Stephanie with her simple elegance and DeeDee with her ability to turn a trip to church into a comedy routine.

And so, I turn for help.  For Christmas last year, Dave got me No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog.  The name alone made me laugh out loud. Because, seriously, I would never write a post about what I had for lunch.

That’s what Twitter is for!

The problem?  The majority of the ideas listed, while wonderful, would stand out like a sore thumb on my blog.  I have used a couple of the ideas already (Only A Matter of Time & How Funky Is Your Chicken?) but the rest might seem like they are coming out of left field.

That’s why I thought I would write a preface post saying that, in the future, I will be using the ideas from this book.  I’ll even create a nifty category for them, too, and reference the page numbers and all.  Or something.

Consider yourself warned.
