Commitment Issues

Let me first start by apologizing for my prolonged and unexplained absence.  I had an unexpected change to my work schedule that resulted in a lot of late appointments and difficulties rearranging my day to day needs. 

This came at a bad time in terms of my writing progress.  I was feeling like I just finally got back in the swing of things.  My recent blogs were sounding and feeling less forced than they had been.  Then, bam! Change of schedule.  My routine broke up, and now I'm out of practice again.

To be totally honest, this frustrates me.  Just a few years ago I found myself to be frustrated with my blogging peers for their own intermittent commitment to their "passion."  At the time, I was following multiple internet authors, and gaining information about the process of running a blog.  I found that I enjoyed the predictability of regularly scheduled blogs, and the writing quality seemed to improve with blogs that posted frequently.  So, when the posters I followed began to slowly trickle off the internet I declared confidently to myself: "I will never do that."

Certain I could sustain such a problem, I trudged forward with a goal of weekly posting.  Thus began Monday Musings.  And, I was fairly successful with it.  For over a year I faithfully published a post every Monday.  Then came my graduate thesis and my internship, and a hiatus seemed in order.  It was with great displeasure that I announced my break from Leaving Neverland to finalize my academic pursuits.  The plan was always to resume weekly blogs once I earned my degree.  However, I'm clearly not holding strong to that plan.  My epic writers block and jam-packed schedule have made blogging and book-writing take a back seat, and I hate how this looks.  It would seem like I no longer care about this endeavor, and the truth is far from that. 

So, I'm understandably dissappointed.  The problem is, I just don't know how to move forward.  I'm suffering from a strong case of writer's block; going on 6 months now.  The only thing I can think of is to implore my readership for ideas. I'd like to resume weekly blogs, but clearly I need a storage of ideas and topics.  Either that, or I need to readjust my schedule.  Which is where I look to you all.  What are your thoughts?
