I know what you mean about thinking "why are people even reading"! But you have a great site! I enjoy it!! I may not get to read everyday.. when I do have a minute.. I always put you at the top of my list!!
It's fun to learn what other stay at home mom's are doing in their busy, and sometimes hectic lives! Keep on writing girl!!
Ack! The kid pictures are so cute I'm kissing my computer monitor right now! Seriously, just cute with cute stacked on top. Cute squared. 20 lbs of cute in a 10 lb bag.
First of all, your site is way more interesting than you think it is. It's hard to be objective about your own writing, and it's easy to read other peoples' stuff and feel intimidated. But people keep coming here and reading what you write, and they do it because it's fun to read.
As for how to get inspiration, here's one of my tricks. Pick any subject and start writing about it. Keep working that post around until you make it funny. That may take awhile and it may take 20 or more times re-reading it and reworking it. You just save it as draft and keep coming back to it over and over, looking for new ways to make it more interesting or more funny. Any subject can be funny if you just keep plugging away at it. I sometimes have 6 or more drafts sitting there waiting for me to get them funny or interesting enough to post them. If they never got there, I'd never post them, but like I said, if you keep working at it, you will make it happen. Sometimes a mediocre event can be made funny just by throwing in a few offbeat descripive words or narrative phrases.
If all else fails, your kids are so freaking cute you may not need to write anything at all. Just keep posting pictures of those sweet little faces (and feet) and we will keep coming back to kiss our monitors.
I love those pictures! I'm feeling kind of blah too. I haven't even begun Christmas shopping, and I'm usually almost done by now, so I find that depressing.
I read your blog because I love you and I want to see what you have to say, witty or not. Funny thing is, I don't think I would read my own blog if I didn't know myself. I think my sentences are choppy and boring, and I'm not particularly funny or insightful. Haha, how's that for honest?
