Once upon a time, I blogged to avoid real writing. Now I browse Amazon, eBay, and iTunes in order to avoid blogging. Well, not to avoid it so much as to waste time while I'm trying to think of something to post.
A good friend of mine once suggested this way of keeping a journal: write down 2 things -- what you're looking forward to, and what you don't want to think about. It's *amazing* what started coming out when I did that. (Before, I wrote in a self-conscious way, as if trying to impress someone.)
I blog all day long in my head (as I know you do) and have been finding it increasingly difficult to actually bang anything out on the keyboard. Why is that??!?!!
I'm taking Lunkwill's advice- be on the lookout...
Lunkwill's got a good point. And so does TB. ;) It's disappointing to love writing so much and to find you've run out of things to say... I have that problem sometimes too...

If you're trying to avoid your hobbies, you need to rethink your system.
