In spite of the fact that so many great things are happening right now in the world of kids' music and media, I just haven't been inspired to write about much of it. I have a long list of post ideas, and a growing stack of material to review, but very little interest in these things. There are so many other topics I would rather write about right now -- many of them personal things that I really can't share so publicly, and some of them completely random topics that suddenly have great prominence in my life (painting! landscaping! the joys of Ikea!).
This has led me into a major existential blog-crisis (a blogxistential crisis?) -- something I know many bloggers have experienced, and something I've experienced before on a much smaller scale. At the same time, I've been adjusting to a new place and new routines. All this week, I've been toying with various scenarios to get myself out of this blog-crisis, everything from ramping up my efforts here, to mandating a two-post-per-day rule until I get back in the groove of blogging, to forming some new partnerships, to ditching the blog entirely and re-surfacing anonymously with a different focus.
Whatever the outcome (and I really don't think I could effectively cover my tracks and go anonymous), I've vowed to work through my blogxistential crisis this weekend. So look forward to something -- I don't know exactly what, yet -- from me on Monday.

good luck: and may the force be with you. have a good weekend.
been there. SO been there. and yet i have no words of wisdom except do what you feel, or what you feel you need to do for you. whatever that is, i hope you won't be leaving us any time soon. xoxo
See the thing is, I feel your pain, and I've been telling myself that part of the difficulty is just SUMMER. You know it's when you think you're going to be really productive because regular life sort of tweaks and it looks like there will be all these extra spaces but then it turns out that the tweaking just means you find yourself with more time to do things but less desire to do them. Hmmmm. I raise my glass to FALL, to THE ROUTINE, to KIDS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL. I think these things may reinvigorate. I betcha $5 they will. I sure hope so--I just love reading what you have to say.
I love Ikea. But not as much as Target. I also love the word bloxistential. And I do sometimes think we might be the same person.
Good luck. Please don't go anonymous without telling us where you go. ;-)
Also, I just finished painting my office (with Behr paint) in order to inspire me to write more. It's the best paint, I think. I chose the color "Comforting." Think khaki. I always choose some shade of khaki with a nice name. This office reorganization is supposed to solve all my creative conundrums.
Oh, Amy...
We all feel it, in whatever form. Like Ginger said - fall! Back to school, back to work, back to someplace new. I hope wherever this block takes you, you'll take us with you, like Leo said.
Selfishly, I'll miss your smart, cool self if you go. But do your thing, girl. That's the only way...
