Blogger's Block...

What makes it worse is when one has settled into a comfortable routine where one post comes up every few days... and now i sit in front of the screen and wonder: what do i write???
It would be easy to make this a bitch-blog. But i do not aim to use this blog to create a false sense of superiority.
It would be easy to make it a record of mundane events in my daily routine. But i don't have such an interesting life. Do i write what is happening in my sucky, frustrating life? Or do i need to have such detailed documentation of it??
So far, i write when i feel like writing about things that i might have something to say about. So it's a diary...
But it's not a diary either, cos it's out for the whole world to see.
So what is this blog?
i tend to treat it as a make-believe opinion column in a make-believe newspaper with a circulation of 1. So does that make it personal? Or does the fact that 1696 people have read my posts make it public?
And therein lies the identity crisis. And the blogger's block. And this rambling post.

Bitch-blog is not bad too. Sometimes, some posts actually helps us say things we would not say in real life for fear of offending someone or any other hundred reasons.

Some people write every day which I cannot do, lack of time ;) Writing once in week or fortnight gives us enough time to stray our thoughts/experience out.
