A blog post about nothing

For  those of you who were fans of the TV comedy “Seinfeld,” you know it was 
 a show “about nothing.”

Sometimes I feel that way about this blog. When I thought about starting a blog, I was advised by experts (some even over the age of 12) that a successful blog posts new items regularly so that if you do acquire a base of followers, you keep them. When I started this blog, the intent was for it to cover politics, family, language and other topics that might strike my fancy. My plan intially was to post three times a week, a schedule I did maintain for a while. The recent crisis over the federal government shutdown and  debt limit took over the topic here for a while (sorry, my instinct is politics/civility). Since then, though, I’ve had trouble being motivated with with topics that are interesting enough or might provide a smile.

Time went by as I pondered and, thus, I haven’t posted in a while. And/but I need to post to maintain consistency in the blog.

Thus, this is a blog about nothing. Would that it achieves half (a tenth) of the viewership that Seinfeld attracted.

The trick to writing is this. DON'T. THINK. JUST. WRITE. And if you can't type as fast as you think, use a tape recorder, say the things you want to say, then just type it to your blog. If you think too long, you'll forget the message you wanted to convey. THINK LONG-THINK WRONG. (Your 55 minutes are up. Please pay my secretary on the way out. And tell my next patient to come on in.) 😀😎😀
