Uninspired

I love to write. It doesn't really matter what I'm writing about. It can be an annoying 50 page brief on mundane legal issues or a silly ghost story based on my haunted apartment in New Hampshire. As long as I'm writing, I'm happy.

Maybe it's all the extra hours I put in last month at the office... Or maybe it's the fact that I've been coughing up a lung for the past 2 weeks and can't talk above a really raspy whisper... But it could just be the fact that I'm a walking zombie these days and am practically falling asleep at my keyboard as I write this.

The point is...I'm lacking inspiration for things to write about.

The last time I asked someone what I should write about, the answer was "porn" and it prompted this post about my, um, expertise with swingers, toys and adult films... Get your mind out of the gutter. I'm no swinging porn star...but go read that post if you have no clue what I'm talking about :)

So I'll throw it out to you guys and ask if you've got any ideas. You take the time to read my rambling after all... You should get some vote in this.

I would love to hear about what it's like to work as a female lawyer in a male dominated field. I also work in a male dominated field, and the attitudes I come across can be very interesting.

Michelle said...

You are in an interesting line of work...LOL

Well, I started writing down ideas in my BlackBerry so I had a list of topics when I didn't have daily happenings to talk about. You can blog about trips you've taken (hence my post on Friday), law school, favorite TV shows, favorite ways to unwind, pregnancy, music, movies. There's a plethora of things to choose from!

I have no ideas. If I did, I would have a blog of my own. You have a cute kid, an interesting job, four years of undergrad, and however many years of law school. I am sure you have some funny stories to share from all that.

You have to find some inspiration. I look forward to reading your blog everyday. The other blog I follow on a regular basis (whose author shall remain nameless) hardly ever has posts anymore, so I have to rely on you for my daily reading.

Candie: food and wine, huh? i can probably work with that. i like both those things

GreenJello: hmm...always a good idea when i'm in the mood to rant. i haven't done a post in awhile about how pissed off i get when my adversaries call me "dear."

michelle: sometimes. the construction cases are not QUITE as interesting

ms s: fair warning - i'm kinda stealing your aloha friday post from last week... okay, i'm totally ripping it off. hope you don't mind

rach: i didn't realize part of my job description was to keep you entertained :) but since i can count the number of people who read this blog and know me in real life on, um, 3 fingers - i guess i have to keep you happy!

GreenJello said...

Or "sweetie" or "honey" and my all time pet peeve "girl". I don't go around calling you "boy" do I?

Grumble.

Jaime said...

GreenJello: UGH! I did have one total ass call me "little girl." He was trying to throw me during a dep - it worked. but he made the official firm shit list in the process.

I'm planning to write a post about my bucket list (stuff to do before I die) this week. Seems like it might jump start an idea or two.

I think we all have days where we're uninspired.

Meg said...

More porn, please.

Candice said...

Yeah, ditto on the porn

GreenJello said...

One of these days, I'm gonna hit 'em right back with "boy". I'm usually too restrained to do it, though. I think it has to do with learning to keep your mouth shut in a man's world so you don't get labeled a "bitch". Catch-22.

Stacey said...

Porn works. Have you ever checked out the blog http://www.girlwithaonetrackmind.blogspot.com/? Crack me up. Kind of kidding about you writing porn though.

You mentioned in another post about getting beat out for a job by someone not as qualified. How about that? Vent away...

Mike said...

Write about the favorite vacation spot and where you would really like to vacation, that you have not been to.

Peggy said...

How about porn star ghosts in New Hasmpshire? I'd read that! :)

Anonymous said...

I am feeling much the same way today actually. It's usually one week I can think of things and the next week, I'm totally empty. I could never write a book.

Jaime said...

K: People make it look to easy to come up with stuff to write about everyday. At least I know I'm not alone in the uninspired department.

Prefers: LOL - i'll see what i can come up with

Candice: Are you kidding me? You don't rig your giveaway so I win myself something sexy and then you demand more porn!

GreenJello: Or we just have better manners?

Stacey: I've never visited that one. I'll have to go check her out.

otin: vacation? what's that?

peggy: now THAT's an idea!

blueviolet: but you always come up with great stuff to write about.
