Finding content to write about each day is a difficult task, especially when you don’t have a whole lot going on in your life.  Writing the content is easy.  Once I start on a subject I can usually write until the cows come home.  Sure, it may not be anything anyone in her/his right mind would want to read (I have been known to cause insanity in others with my prose), but when I get started, the words just jump onto the page.  I don’t even think the keyboard even exists at those moments of clarity about writing.  I have found myself at times going on and on about really nothing of importance and filling an entire page with nothing but dribble.  Getting started is the hardest part, but woe is you when I do get started.  Sentence after sentence of either brilliant insight, funny remarks, or stupid rantings just flows from me on the keyboard.  But don’t distract me when I’m writing.  It doesn’t take much to get me off track or to lose my train of thought and once that happens it is like a giant boulder stopping for school kids (yes, boulders have kids too so they stop for school kids).

It is just that content is hard.
