I don’t know what to write. It’s been happening more and more in the last few weeks, hence the NOTHING post and the real nothing yesterday (apart from the Big Blog Stats on the other blog but that’s just copying and pasting) and all the shite and pictures and more shite (which is nothing new because THIS WHOLE BLOG is made up of shite, but at least I used to be able to fill up a page with it). Little Emily has deserted me, Kumblant dog-fuck has disappeared to where ever he’s disappeared to, and NOTHING HAPPENS IN THIS FUCKING HOUSE FOR ME TO WRITE ABOUT. I eat Cumberland sausages, I spend HOURS of quality time with my brick, I see Branwell a couple of times a week - AND THAT’S IT. And I’ve told you those things UMPTEEN TIMES and I’m bored of telling you, and if I’M bored then you must be fucking comatose by now.
I joined Pinterest the other day to make some pretty picture boards thinking that if I had something else to piss around with it might distract me from not knowing what to write and guess what? I CAN’T WORK THE FUCKING THING. How hard can it be? Everyone does it. It’s linked to stupid Facebook and it took me AN HOUR AND A HALF to change the profile picture on Facebook BUT IT WON’T CHANGE ON PINTEREST. And I can’t upload any pictures to pin on the fucking boards, I click Browse, choose a picture, press select, and – NOTHING. So I thought, right, go back to Facebook and make the Notes From A She-Hermit page into something, it’s been sitting there for fuck knows how long - AND I COULDN’T DO A PICTURE ON THERE EITHER and if I HAD been able to do a picture I wouldn’t have been able to do anything else BECAUSE IT’S TOO FUCKING COMPLICATED.
I give up. I can’t write, I can’t do pictures, I can’t even keep up with everyone’s posts – I turn up days late to read people’s blogs but I never seem to catch up. If everyone stopped posting for a week I might have a chance BUT YOU WON’T STOP WRITING, all you bloggers who don’t have wordy block, all you do is WRITE WRITE WRITE. STOP IT. Stop writing for a week and let me catch up. Go on holiday or something, clean your house, do your garden, do some overtime at work, see if you can chew your fingernails into perfect copies of the MONA LISA, do anything but WRITE.
I daren’t take a break because I’m scared I won’t come back and I LOVE this blog but I know what I’m like, I give up on EVERYTHING eventually and if I give up on this I’ll be fucked, they might as well cart me away now, save them the bother when I lose it completely because if I don’t have the blog and all the bloggy stuff that goes with it to distract me from BEING MENTAL and from the NOISES IN MY FUCKING HEAD THAT ARE GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND WORSE AND WORSE I’ll go even more mental than I am already.
Okay, rant over for today. There might be another one tomorrow but don’t bother reading it, it’s just my way of keeping me writing and blogging – at least I’ve written SOMETHING. Sorry.

/ July 17, 2012Dear Dotty, Could you please tell us more about the perfect brick, when you started to like them, your thoughts on the olympics, what you think of all members of the royal family, and (since they are speaking so loudly anyways) what the voices say? There is so much more I want to know. Love , Peaches.

Thank you for the ideas – when I sit down to write in the morning I’ll see if any of your suggestions work.
The noises are hyperacusis and tinnitus, not real voices – but one of the tinnitus noises sounds like a young child screaming and another is like a choir in the distance so I suppose they ARE voices only they’re not MENTAL voices.

/ July 17, 2012I haven’t read this post, and I won’t read your post tomorrow either… but you seem to have written a lot words about something. Okay, I confess I read the first few words, so… P.S. What always works for me when I have “wordy block” is to think of something I would never ever write about – for me, even though I’m quite foodie, I don’t want to do food blogging (& so it calls me in its evil, taunting way), or if I write something for a competition that I can’t publish elsewhere, it screams in my head for escape. Just saying
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 17, 2012Dear Ella,

I have a short story competition I wouldn’t mind entering (no chance of winning, I’m crap at short stories). Annoyingly, unlike essay writing at school there’s no set topic, and I have no story so I need to take my own advice.
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 17, 2012Dear Ella,
I haven’t been able to plan any writing for years – starting this blog got me out of a massive wordy block but I still haven’t planned anything, the way I’ve been doing it is I sit down to write and whatever comes out is my post for the day. I have great difficulty writing anything else, even my shopping lists, believe it or not – any writing that requires any amount of thought is almost impossible.
I’m going to try what you said and see if I CAN plan something that I’ve never done – maybe this wordy block is telling me it’s time to step up and give planning a go again. If you hear screams, ignore them.

/ July 17, 2012Pinterest is brilliant ans sooo addictive! It took me a while to get a feel for it. Have you put the Pin It Button on your toolbar (not sure that’s the right term) at the top of the web browser? It took me ages to get that one. If you go to “About” at the top of the Pinterest page, then Pin It Button, you then drag the white Pin It button at the top of the page into your toolbar- thing.
When you find a photo on any web page you just click the Pin It button and go from there. If you want to pin a someone else’s pin on Pinterest, just click the photo and click repin which will appear on the photo.
Hope that’s helpful??? Then you can be addicted like me!
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 17, 2012Dear Rachel,
Thanks. I put the button on my toolbar after I joined but I haven’t used it yet. I tried for ages to upload a picture from my laptop with no joy so I didn’t look at the rest of what I could do. When I’m not so irritable I’ll go back and see if i can get it to work.

/ July 17, 2012Dear Dotty,
Today you’ve done the perfect thing — writers write. Even if it’s silly and nonsensical, writers write. So just keep on writing about not being able to write, and new, fresh topics will present themselves to you. And if Little Emily has bagged on you, find another author and make friends. Mine is John Steinbeck, and I’ll introduce the two of you if you’d like! Hang in there, my bloggy sister!
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 17, 2012Dear Judith,
Thank you, you always know the right thing to say to buck me up. That’s what I’m hoping will happen, something will manifest itself when I least expect it and open up a whole new area of themes and stories.
Little Emily and Branwell live quite near me, that’s how we became friends in the first place. I might ask Branwell if Charlotte fancies a Cumberland sausage sandwich for her breakfast one morning – I don’t like her, she’s a bossy cow, but at the very least it would annoy little Emily just as much as she’s annoying me.

Sword-chinned bitch
/ July 17, 2012I relate to fear of not writing and never coming back. A number of bloggers who take breaks do come back, and we’re still all here for them. I think eventually I’ll not be blogging as much so I’m preparing myself. Maybe you could try being more relaxed about it and not stressing about not being able to produce. When your brain is relaxed ideas come more easily. I think everyone’s so busy and preoccupied with their own lives to get that bent out of shape when even the bloggers we love aren’t there for a bit, though we hope they come back.
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 17, 2012Dear Swordy,
Why? Where are you going? Or what are you doing? – tell me to shut up and not be nosey if you want
It’s not really about the blog and whether or not people read it, it’s the fact that this is the only way I’ve been able to write anything at all for years and if I give up on it I think I might as well give up on the hope of ever doing any serious writing again because, like Judith said, writers write. You’re spot on about the stressing, I know, it makes it worse. Maybe I should take a break with the proviso that I come back on a certain day.
Love Dotty xxx
Sword-chinned bitch
/ July 17, 2012Oh Dotty that sounds so severe — ‘…give up on the hope of ever doing any serious writing again…’ Nooooooooo!! Well then if you need to put shite in here to keep it going until the going is ‘good’ then put shite in here
Me, I’m not going anywhere. I’ve been using my blog as a piss poor marketing platform for my home made book, which is on Kindle. I’m getting hard copies made now. I want to do readings in cafes and bookstores after that. When that’s done, though I have a cute job in a gallery at a botanical garden, I promised myself to look for a REAL job. So I’ll leave all the book stuff behind me and some of that social media, like facebook and twitter. I have grown to appreciate my interactions and relationships with bloggers, so here and there I’ll continue, but it does require a lot of work. Oh good luck to us all! Even when I’ve stopped blogging I’ll be certain to check you out Dotty, you are one of a kind!
Dotty Headbanger
/ July 18, 2012Dear Swordy,

With many of the mental health blogs, and a few of the writing ones, I read the posts in my email either as they come in or, if I’m avoiding mental health stuff because I’m down I’ll save them up for a good read when I’m ready (yours included) but I don’t visit the blogs as often as I should to let you (and the others) know that I am actually reading everything.

/ July 17, 2012Dearest Dotty,
Sometimes the block comes because you’ve run out of ideas to talk about from your perspective. Turn it around and let some mundane inanimate object in your home take on a persona and have that object write all about you instead.
For example – what does that brick think of you, carrying it around and staring at it all day. Or maybe one of your fine dinner plates that constantly serves up those Cumberland Sausages, or maybe even your pan that cooks the sausages. Is your pan a happy pan, or does it pine for a different meat to cook up every once in a while? I’m sure there are plenty of things in the Dotty household that are yearning for a voice, while yours takes a little rest. But be forewarned – talking objects might become a nuisance – witness any number of teakettles and candlestick holders from Disney animated movies…
For what it’s worth – even when you have nothing to say, it sounds a helluva lot better than so many blow-hard blogs that say a lot about nothing, and with lots less panache. I just love a good Dotty rant.
All the best!

/ July 18, 2012Dear Brick,
When little Emily used to visit and I’d post about it, sometimes the comments to the post would spark soemthing for the next day’s post so when I sat down to do it I had an idea of where it would go. The comments on this post have been more than helpful too – a little spark has gone off, I’ll see if it lights up when I do the post. Or actually, I think I’ll change the way I do it today – instead of writing it straight into the new post box I’ll do it in Word and post it tomorrow – that’ll be a first for me to do a post and not publish it straight away, the challenge will be when I come to reread it not to press Delete before I move it over to WordPress.

/ July 18, 2012Aw, Dotty, I hope things pick up for you soon. “Wordy block” can really suck the fun out of writing. It seriously is not a good feeling. I hate when it happens to me, as it makes me feel so empty. I love writing, so when I can’t think of what to write about, I feel like something is missing for sure. I hope you’re able to knock that block down, though, and feel better about writing.
“… BUT YOU WON’T STOP WRITING, all you bloggers who don’t have wordy block, all you do is WRITE WRITE WRITE. STOP IT. Stop writing for a week and let me catch up. Go on holiday or something, clean your house, do your garden, do some overtime at work, see if you can chew your fingernails into perfect copies of the MONA LISA, do anything but WRITE.”
Just so you know, this part right here made me laugh so much!
I’ll say this, my friend, you’re a master at your craft, ’cause even when you’re blocked, you still rock!

Thank you. I think this post might have done the trick – certain comments have sparked a little something that I’m going to have a go at today. Fingers crossed!

I read the WHOLE post, even though you told me not to, because I’m disobedient like that. All I have to say is that for someone suffering from wordy block, you managed an awful lot of words and even with my grammar police hat on they all looked liked good words in a pretty good order to me
See you tomorrow?

Ugh, I know! Sometimes I wish people would just stop writing so I can catch up! Monkey-Bee says hi. Oh and the noises in the ear…dear god. Fuck. I finally went to the ENT last week. News is not too great–hearing loss increased or less… GLAGH.
Anyway, love your blog. It’s because of your blog that I found so many special people like Sailor and THAM and well, YOU!

Sorry you’ve had shite news from ENT. It’s a bastard, isn’t it? Is there nothing they can do to help?
I think I’m getting a bit overwhelmed with it all so i’m going to take a break.
