Blogging!
I know all my readers (and by “all my readers” I mean “both of you”) would like to know how an amazing blogger such as myself is able to maintain an outstanding blog such as this one. I can tell you, it’s not easy. All the other blogs that blog about blogging are filled with useful information for everyone else. Here’s a good example: [Blog about] Why you’re different (and better) than your competition. Who’s my competition? I don’t see any other guys in their late 20s whining about how often they don’t blog. I’m pretty sure I’m an industry of one. So, for anyone else who finds posts like these useless, I now present my solid gold blogging tips:
- Talk about current events. I’m a little behind on this, but I promise everyone I’ll finally get to the Leno-Conan issue as soon as we get through the Lincoln-Douglas debates next week.
- Challenge people you’ve never met to duels. This one works for awhile, but gets old pretty fast.
- Mention something from your childhood. Imply the era you grew up in is superior to any other era.
- Review a product. Suggest that you could be bought.
- Talk about something that has recently happened to you, or something you have recently done. Don’t talk about completely uninteresting things, though. Save those for Twitter and Facebook.

Are any of the above a cure for writer’s block, or laziness, or lack of inspiration, or all three? Sure hope so although I’m not sure which to address first.
I’ll go take a nap and think about that one for awhile *yawwwwwwwn*

These are great blogging tips. I would write a post on SKOS sharing MY blogging tips, but of course if I did that I would have to kill all my readers. And that would pretty much defeat the whole purpose of sharing. It’s definitely a quandary.

Jenny: These are for when I am too lazy to even have writer’s block.
Kev: If you wrote a post on how to blog, it would be akin to Picasso writing “How to paint,” or Steve Jobs writing “How to make everyone think you’re incredibly awesome while robbing them blind.”
