Blogging Disease

Blogging must be getting to me. I didn't have a chance to write my blog last night so in the middle of the night I woke up wishing I was really awake and could be writing my blog entry for today. Now THAT is crazy!

It reminded me of years ago when I was learning typing in high school. I would dream I was typing, practicing the strokes and fingering in my sleep. Is there anyone else out there like me?

So maybe I've identified a new disease - "blogging disease." What do you think?

  1. Yes, you definitely blogging disease. It's highly contagious. I may have been partially responsible for passing it along to you. Once you get it, you won't be able to get rid of it.

    On the bright side, it's a lot of fun and you'll make lots of nice cyber friends.

  2. You are definitely not alone! I often wake up in the middle of the night thinking about all the things I forgot to do the previous day or with ideas for stories or blogs. However, I seldom get out of my nice comfy bed in the wee hours take care of them or to write.

  3. Once you start blogging every day, it's hard to skip a day -- or even potentially skip a day! I used to play a game called Tetris. I finally forced myself to quit because I couldn't get to sleep because I would still be playing it in my head and when I did sleep, I dreamed about it.

    I know how you feel.

  4. I'm also a grandma writer!

    I really hope I catch the blogging disease eventually. Right now it's a chore somewhere on a continuum between filing my nails and doing the dishes. it doesn't help that I mostly write fiction and writing non-fiction is . . . does't feel quite comfortable yet.

    I find Twitter a lot less daunting.

  5. It is a disease, and very infectious. The main symptom is large blocks of time gone missing while blogging and trolling others' blogs. :)

  7. Thanks to all of you for your comments. Morgan, I'm not sad that I caught it. I'm learning so much. Hopefully you'll catch it soon, too, Susan.

  8. Don't know if it's a disease or would qualify in the realm of my blog title, Murder MANIA. I feel sort of maniacal at times trying top get all of this blogging stuff together. I'm trying to blog daily on my own site, once a week on Murderous Musings and every other week on Make Mine Mystery. Somewhere along the line I'm going to fall flat on my face.

  9. For me, blogging isn't really an addiction yet. Mobile-blogging is though, and I find myself constant updating my Twitter.

  12. I've been dreaming about being on the internet, and discovering sites. Very odd. Wish I could dream what to say! Thanks for this. I really enjoy reading your blogs.

  13. Hahaha - been there and had that. Eventually it stops feeling like a dis-ease and you get comfortable with it.

  14. On Sunday night, between 11:30 pm and 2:30 am, I turned the light on and off at least a dozen times. I kept getting ideas for my new book and had to get up and put them in my notebook. It's a vicious trap; I have to get up for work in the mornings, but I know if I don't write my ideas down, I'll never remember them and the book will never get finished and I'll be that much farther away from being able to quit my job to write full time (that's the dream, right?)
    Thanks for the timely post. =)
