Hi! I have writer’s block.

So let’s be clear that this is not really a blog post. At all.

I have lots of drafts of blog posts (I was going to hyperbolize and say “more than I can count,” but since WordPress counts them for me, that would be totally untrue).

I have a series planned on how to do teleclasses, everything from figuring out how to call a conference line to delivering the edited audio file. I know this would be useful to lots of people. Plus it would allow me to look quite expert-ish.

I have lots of WordPress plugins to describe and review, ones I use daily and recommend. Should be easy, right?

I’ve got several questions-from-the-mailbag posts partway written. So yeah, even that trick of “pretend you’re writing to one person who asked you a question you can totally answer” isn’t working. Because if writing a blog post that actually is a direct answer to one person’s specific question won’t do it, what will?

I’ve even got some hey-I’m-a-real-person quirky-moment post ideas, like my recipe for pancakes, funny things my kids said, and observations on caring for a diabetic cat.

Yet I am sitting here writing about not being able to write those things. I might as well be clutching my fevered brow while dramatically flinging my other arm wide and uttering a profound lament about the precariousness of the human condition.

Plus I have a lingering cold that is proving hard to get rid of. Sniff.

No lesson here. No tidy wrap-up. No provocative “your turn” questions. Just some words in a blank white space, and then clicking a blue button called “publish.”

And then I think I will go eat some cake.

Happy writer’s block, everyone!
