Blog Reading

I spent most of the day feeling crappy from Kaboom, so I really did end up spending most of the day on my computer. I didn't mean to be, but I found myself caught up in someone's blog. This woman just found out she's pregnant with her married lover's baby, and I just got sucked in to her world of how and why this happened and what's been happening since it started...

And it seems that she's had a lot of comments on her blog from people judging her decisions and saying rude and cruel things. First, I'm not sure I understand people who will read a blog, which in its essence is someone's personal thoughts, and, once they disagree/dislike what they read, not only keep reading, but have the nerve to condemn the writer for being themselves...

And, while I don't think that infidelity is right, and I certainly wouldn't stand for it from Mr. Pink (or vice versa), what's right for me isn't necessarily right for anyone else, and I would never dream of writing nasty comments on somoene else's blog trying to force my beliefs on them.

But beyond the subject matter, this blogger was really well-written and quite captivating, and i confess that I've been sitting here for several hours reading about her life.

And that's what I want for me... not necessarily this blog (although it would be kinda cool to build up a worldwide blogaudience :) ) but my writing in general.
Right now, the most gripping thing I'm writing is that the store I work for is having a clearance on our athletic shoes in October. They're gonna be really cheap.

I need to get my creativity back. My motivation to write. I think about my stories, my characters, what I want to say and my dreams about being published, but when it comes to sitting down and typing, my mind goes blank.

I wish I knew how to fix that.
