We’ve all been there—there have been days, weeks, maybe even months where we haven’t been able to post. For today’s Thursday Thirteen I offer, Thirteen Reasons For Not Posting on Your Blog.
- Your keyboard, mouse, monitor, computer, etc. has broken.
- You forgot the password to your blog.
- You’ve been busy posting on someone else’s blog.
- You forgot your topic.
- You’ve been writing comments.
- You’ve given birth.
- You’ve decided to do more with you’re family.
- You’re away on vacation.
- You broke your finger, fingers, thumb, hand.
- You have become addicted to Twitter.
- You’ve started a new blog on your own domain.
- You’re tired of blogging.
- You no longer have an Internet Connection.
Any of these ever apply to you? Other reasons for not posting?

I can only say #12 will never apply to me – for now!
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 Windows Vista
Other reasons for me not to blog?
1. What’s going on in my life is too depressing to blog
2. I’m in a fibromyalgia fog and can’t think straight 3. There are too many cats in front of my computer screen and I can’t see it
Internet Explorer 7.0 Windows XP
Life is WAY too busy, giving me things to blog about… Great list!
Internet Explorer 6.0 Windows XP
excellent topic!
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 Windows Vista
How about, “You’ve been trying to juggle the house, the kids, a job and three bands! Blogging hasn’t even been on the radar!”
Mine’s about blogging, too!
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 Windows XP
number 13 is a sad sad day whenever that happens! sometimes, i get overwhelmed with events and happenings to blog that i dont know where and how to start!
Internet Explorer 7.0 Windows XP
I think I’ve used all of those except the giving birth one. And who am I kidding, when that day comes, I’ll probably be twittering the process.
Great TT! Thanks for stopping by mine and for the very kind comment
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.6 Windows XP
I’ve just been a bit burned out in everything lately. The only thing getting done around here has been the dishes!

Oh, I have used excuse #12 many times! I also use the “I am too lazy” one too.
I love Veggie Tales!

Yeah, I can relate to a few of those. Another good one is having company in your house for a week or two. I’ve had that happen, too, company sometimes for three weeks at a time. Nice take on TT.
Thank you for visiting me.

I’m guilty of #10. It’s so much easier to toss up a 140 character thought snippet than to flesh it out into an actual post.
Thanks for stopping by my corner of the internet. And btw, I use Twitter on my cell all the time. It only feeds the addiction.

Great reasons for not posting.

I use just about all of these, but here’s one you don’t have- my dog ate my shift key!
Internet Explorer 7.0 Windows Vista
Wait. What do you mean? There are times when people do not post on their blogs?
Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 Mac OS X Mach
Giving birth? Yes, I’d say that’s inarguably a good reason to skip an entry or two! (Thanks for visiting my TT)
Internet Explorer 6.0 Windows XP
I’ll add:
You’ve got family visiting and they don’t know you’ve got a blog
and
My kids keep using my computer for video games
Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Windows Vista
Lots of great additions! I’ll have to develop a longer list of why not to blog, because it looks like 13 isn’t enough!
