Does that ever happen to you, that you have been sitting behind your computer screen with your mind completely blocked, not being able to come up with what to write next and than at the most inconvenient  moment possible, the ideas will come popping up.

That is what just happened to me, I had been working for quite a while and needed to come up with the next article to write on this blog. But after having stared at the screen with my mind completely blank I started looking around for inspiration.

Not online, just right here in my office, staring out the window and dreaming off. Needless to say inspiration did come enter my brain at all, instead I was just wasting my time completely.

I started going back through my blog, trying to find that much needed inspiration but nothing happened. Then I went through some favorite blogs I hadn´t visited for a while to see if they could enlighten me on what was going to be my next topic. Again nothing came up.

So in the end, instead of just sitting there, sifting through I don´t know how many websites and pages I felt it was time for a refreshing shower.

And with my head all shampood and showerfoam dripping down I finally got inspired. But this time thoughts started running through my mind, enough topics to cover atleast 50 bright new sparkly clean blog entries, but with the spunge in my hand and my hair shampood there was no way to get them on paper fast enough.

You probably already guessed it… as soon as I got my hand on a pen and paper to jot all of them down to work out later on, they had already disappeared again. All these great ideas and funny stories, inspirational thoughts and motivational imput was completely gone, almost as if they had left with the showerwater down the drain.

Same thing occurs to me all the time when I am driving my car and just can´t write thingsdown, my mind starts coming up with all these great sentences, wonderful paragraphs and fluent articles I really should publish and get out into the world, but as soon as I sit behind the computer they are all gone.

Man I just hate that,  does that ever happen to you?

The next thing on my wishlist is a good voice recorder, preferably waterproof so no ideas will ever get lost and all my inspiration will be used to the fullest of my abilities!

Come to think of it, a good voice recorder in combination with speech recognition writing software would certainly make life easier and more productive….

Anyways, I just noticed in my sidebar that this will actually be Post Number Hundred on this blog, so in between uncertainty, lack of inspiration and short breaks I actually did manage to crack out 100 posts and ideas. Granted, there are quite a few that I should never have posted but that is in hindsight and I am letting them stay just were they are because those posts also form part of my learning journey ever since I started this blog.

The fact that I did reach 100 blog posts though does make me think and reconsider just where I want this blog to go and that maybe I should start writing more over here again, making adjustments to the topics.

I feel some changes coming up!

Update: Cindy from soapourri.com suggested a diver´s slate that could be the solution. It´s a few items down in the list, I missed on first sight, it´s a few items down…Must have had soap in my eyes!

Still looking though for that waterproof voice recorder, so if you guys know of any available… please let me know!
