 Any followers of my blog posts will know that I had stopped posting for a while, due mainly to the ‘argument’ I have been having with Weebly, who insist that I pay them for the privilege of posting words attached to their site.
The upshot of this is that (paradoxically), even though I have succumbed and am paying a small amount, I am now out of the habit of blogging. I have been reading over my past blogs, starting back in in 2012, and am a little amazed at what I was writing over 10 years ago. Nevertheless it has been interesting to read, but now I seem to be out of ideas. No subject that grabs me seems worthy of writing about. Politics is boring and, in many cases, depressing and maddening. Take, for instance the Australian opposition leader’s approach to wrecking what I consider to be an essential referendum to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Constitution. Then, looking overseas, in U.S., the bizarre debacle over Trump’s criminal charges and the response of his supporters is too grotesque to even bother reading about, let alone commenting on. In the UK, the resultant mess of leaving the European Union and the ghastly state the nation is in is too upsetting to mention. France is descending into chaos over a two year increase in the pension age. And Putin is demolishing Ukraine because he wants it. So….in desperation I Googled “subjects to write a blog about”, only to be disappointed to see suggestions included writing about fashion, celebrities, business, films and a few other unappealing (to me) topics. So, here I am, back on the blog wagon, with nothing to say. Astounding that I can just now write over 300 words about ‘nothing’, but there you go! www.diannaedwardsandwriting.com
