So I've run dry on inspiration. This doesn't bode well,as I've only written a couple of entries. As it happens, the posts I've written have been well received, and that has been very encouraging.

The problem is that I've run out of things that I feel confident to write about. There's been team related news, not least of which is the disappearance of the sc2 team from vVv gaming. The problem with that is that I don't follow the scene enough to keep track of who is who within the scene, outside off a few famous names and team EG.

There's also been balance issues, like the apparent predominance of toss air in pvz. The thing is, as a silver level terran/protoss player, I'm going to assume that if there is a way to beat toss air, I just haven't thought of it.

Therefore I should probably should try and learn how the game works before a putting out an opinion on how it doesn't work.

So then I start casting further afield for topics. I could probably do a post about starcraft related delicious confectionery treats, but that just makes me want to get a Rep Rap and start mass producing tiny little zergling shaped sweets. (I might do that anyway)

While that might be delicious, there's a limited amount you can write about delicious confectionery treats.

So perhaps I need to stick to the learning experience. After all, that's the one thing that's Starcraft related that I can definitely do. Not to mention, writing about this sorry of thing might generate feedback, which will improve my learning.

Actually, now I think about it, I might end up writing more blog posts based on comments from previous posts. Which gives me an idea.

I know people read this. I've seen the stats. If you lovely readers have anything you'd like to see me attempt, drop me a reply and I'll start working my way through it. The more interesting the topic, the more likely I am to go all out and write an essay on it.

I look forward to seeing what people want to read...

Write about what you like. Questions you might have. Experiences you have made. Mistakes you have made. Worries you have. Things you have learned. That's much more meaningful than writing about things others want to hear.

I think it's great that you made this blog. That is obviously something that has been bothering you or that you have been thinking about. A lot of people don't take the time to articulate that.

I recognize your name. I think I commented on your first ever post on TL ages ago (you made a blog back then I think).

I find for myself inspiration can come from anywhere. Its just a matter of getting myself in the right frame of mind to harness something that is fun or interesting and build on it. Don't squelch the fire before the match has touched the tinder, just write about whatever even if it is a little out of your comfort zone.

That's some good ideas. Will stick some blogs up in the next few days, hopefully. It was a struggle to articulate, partly because it felt like whining for the most part. I ended up rewriting it about fifteen times, just to get the feel of it right, and avoid the feeling that I was just writing a long moan...

That said, it's nice to be memorable :D

That's a good point. I've had a few ideas from JOJO, but the idea of stretching myself can also apply as much to the writing as it can to the game (see ladder anxiety >.< ). I'll try and post about that soon. Sadly, I've just finished a streamed coaching session for tonight, so I haven't got time to blog tonight, which is a shame, but there's always time. Keep an eye on this space. I would appreciate any and all feedback.
