I was complaining to a fellow blogger the other day about the fact that I just cannot seem to sit and write a post at the moment. I can think of titles for posts. I start writing the first sentence…… and then nothing. I have no more words. I have had this problem for the last 2 weeks. One of the reasons for my Bananas post last week – and that went down very well just by the way…….
So we then started debating whether we were entitled to use the term “Writer” and in turn if we were entitled to use the term “Writer’s Block“.
To be quite honest, I actually don’t know what entitles one to use the term “Writer”. At what point are you considered a writer? Is this after you have been published? Is it after you have sold any of your works or made money from writing? Or does it apply to wider audience such as bloggers?
We then started playing around and making up alternative words to use in place of writer’s block.
Eventually we had a short list of 3 or 4 words and we eventually agreed to use the term “Blogstipation“.
So today I thought I would brag about the fact that I have coined a new term. And then I looked the word up in Google – and guess what – the phase has already been coined:
Taken from Urban Dictionary:
n. Inability to blog regularly
n. Inability to think of anything to blog about
I have writer's block all the time lately. Writing a post is like cutting teeth. UGH. I will be glad when the A-Z is over and then I will be taking a break and regrouping. Kathyhttp://gigglingtruckerswife.blogspot.com
If you write, you are a writer. I am a writer! I am also a golfer. Last week I shot a 108!It is a good word, you should get partial credit.
You think, therefore you are…..108 – Is that good?
I think you qualify as a writer once you have – 1) At least three awards.2) 100 followers or more.3) Someone has interviewed you about your blog.Regards, A.Writer.
Blogstipation! I love it! And yes, of COURSE you're a writer! You were just published in the Life Well Blogged series!!!
Dear A. WriterI've been published so π
Ha! TouchΓ©
What is Blogarhea?
Never heard that term so I am giving you credit for it. You were the first one to introduce it to me. Now, I have a feeling it will be widely used in my lexicon.
Hahaha… too funny… I haven't published anything, nor made money on my writing but I still think of myself as a writer π
Love the new word (heard it from you first :)) and it's definitely heading my way for true. Not sure how to define a writer, but if you blog on a regular basis then why not. After all, you are writing, unless you are just posting pictures.
I am pretty happy and glad to add a new word to my vocabulary. useful though!
oh oh now I have to go and change my last blog post's title.BTW it was titled "Writer's Block" !!!
Sorry Nina. Looking out for your post
Glad you liked it
Thanks RPD. Counted the votes and I qualify as a writer!
Yeah – We qualify as writers!
Haha – Glad I taught you something
