Blogger's Block
I have barely done any blogging at all this Summer and hope that now that it is Fall I am once again inspired. Does anyone have any advice?
Hello Princess, welcome back! Where have you been? What did you keep from blogging? A writing block? What is with your story you wanted to write for us (last post)? Sorry, too many questions. I am glad you are coming back to blogland.
Yesterday, I wanted to stop blogging. I thought I have no more idea, and then I go and saw my pictures, I have never publish, some previous posts and I was happy to discover all of them again
You may do the same, fist come back to your previous posts, and you will remember Princess Haiku having so many good ideas And you will say : "Haow ! I did all these beautiful posts, I was interrested with so many events and thinks ?"
Maybe are you just tired or do you have plenty others thinks to do Blogging is not a necessity; just it must be a pleasure...
Portez vous bien, Princesse Haiku... Et revenez nous vite... Come back soon, if you want so...
I was beginning to think you had gone M.I.A. Might I suggest a glass of your chosen poison; some music; fire up the wordprocessor and away you go - whatever comes into your head. That's how I do it anyway.
Hello Princess, so good to "see" you again! I just work through it, forcing myself to write down words. Later you can attach meaning to them and string them together - the objective is just the same as when I do art - to get something down! Once you get past that it's usually easier going.
Friends, I am really touched by your kind comments and will be putting up at least one new post a week starting in the next few days. I have some great dahlia photos and will start with them. There is nothing like a flower to open the heart chakra.
The enchanted chrysanthemum garden I watch as carefully as does a butterfly is beginning to bloom. This Saturday I will have some stunning new chrysanthemum creatures to post.
I had a startling and nearly fatal allergic reaction to a chemical brew of mold/carpet cleaner and new paint in an apartment I visited about six weeks ago. I haven't quite recovered from it. We all see the world differently when we don't take it for granted. One thing is for certain that I will be keeping a benadryl capsule in my purse from now on.
My friend, Moon was right though and I have done some creative writing this summer that I am satisfied with.
I was getting ready to organize a search party (just kidding). It's funny I have always looked to you for inspiration and insights. I am lucky as the botanical world is endlessly fascinating to me and always provides a wealth of topics. If I may make a few suggestions:
I have always enjoyed your music reviews
Memes, as suggested, and maybe a few blog reviews of your favorite spots.
Last winter I went to the Yale art gallery and pretended I was inside the pictures. I wrote a couple of stories about it.
I think you are in the Bay Area, a trip to the Conservancy of Flowers.
I am glad to hear that you are feeling better, really glad. Hang in there and I know you will come up with something. I will look forward to your flower shots and stories.
When I feel blogger block coming on, I pull back (basically become antisocial, lol) and just blog for myself. So I think you're on the right track to post about the things you love the most.
I hope you are feeling better, and I'm glad you're alright! :) Take care.

Like a butterfly inspiration will land on your shoulder if you just let it,
just relax, sit still and have some peace and quite

Hi Princess *bows, semi-gracefully*

Hope you are much better after your allergy attack and looking forward to your next post.
Bonjour Haiku,
As you say you are interested in beauty around you what about telling your surroundings.
What is beautiful and inspiring when walking though your neighborhood and what is an eyesore?
It's a subject I am interested in and it seems many people share this.
Cheers to you
Georg
Thanks for all of these great suggestions. My life has calmed down a bit and I have taken heart from such good suggestions.
I'm glad your back:)
