Why I don't blog

I often find myself at a loss of what to blog about. So being gifted with an 'analytical mind' - at least that's what's earned me a place in my company ledger, I decided to root-cause my problem.

Here's the problem statement, causes and next steps :

Problem statement : Scribblings on Graffiti have decreased over time. The quality of matter posted is sub-standard, disorganized and some are down-right lame. This has lead to a decline in traffic volumes and a decreased intent to blog.
This re-vamping exercise hopes to revive reader interest by increasing blog count, frequency, using catchy phrases and shameless marketing.

Cause(s) :
1) The author gets overwhelmed by the amount of meaningful conversations she could drive though her blog and faces the classic 'starting problem'.
2) The author has a very limited attention time span for anything. By the time she gets decides to write about something, she is caught up in an altogether different world, equally interesting and blog-worthy (loops back to cause # 1)
3) The author lacks passion for anything in particular. This lack of emotion is reflected in her blogs.

Short term fix :
1) It is recommended that the author make blogspot her home page. The blatant reminder each time she opens her browser should drive her to blog something.

Long term goals :
1) Just blog. Any day, anywhere, anytime, anything.
2) The author should stop making excuses for not blogging. Cause no 1 is just baloney! She lacks ideas, originality, passion and creativity and has difficulty trying to accept that.

Expected outcome :
Project is unrealistic. Funding denied.
