In the past, while in high-octane creative mode I would post two or even three a day, sometimes for several days in a row. Also, thinking about writing a series of posts at one time, this will be helpful for tutorials. Just need to get past this bump in the road.

I was surprised because I was expecting there to be a huge number of unread items. Looks like you are right, everyone has slowed down lately.

That's what I've been missing as of late. I also often have thoughts to do instructional posts which can get quite involved to do well. I know a number of folks that are just swimming in activity as of late. I think it coincides with the start of Fall. It will get better. I'm heading to the coast for a three day weekend, so that will be rejuvenating. Kelly, Yes, having the time to contemplate is key to good posts, no doubt about it.

Of course, my ever-expanding category list sort of tells the sad, crazy story. But I do know that when my day has a slower start, and I have the time to read the paper, or spend a bit of time outside, the desire to create is quite strong. That would be opposed to just coming up with something. I guess paying attention to my reactions to things is really the key. And it seems that many bloggers are dealing with this right now...
