Though I am TRYING to scale that back a bit... sadly there is no patch to help with the withdrawl...

Walk around an unknown neighborhood for a couple of hours and take a bunch of pictures. I'm sure you'll have a weeks worth of blog topics for you to comment (or complain) about. ;-) Do what I do (used to do), go out with camera.

My students and their stories often make me remember experiences of my own that wouldn't normally come to mind. I can link what they experience to myself. The irony is that, the more you sit at home writing, the less inspired you'll be to do that writing because your world will be small and the range of experiences you have more limited. Other than that, the news and other blogs (though not directly - only obliquely) sometimes inspire me. I make it a point not to repeat content though and allow content from others to set off a thought process which mutates into something unique. Reading books helps as well because they can really set off a cognitive fire. Old photos sometimes help as well as I think back to how I was different or life was different. Mainly, good blogging comes from having the time to think and experience life off the internet for me, but you and I don't have the same sorts of posts. I tend to write from a much more personal viewpoint and about personal things whereas you tend to comment (ahem, complain) about various things. ;-) I think the best blogging is inspired by interactions with other people.
