I lost it. I’m posting an all points bulletin for my muse.
If you see it, please call me ASAP so I can reclaim it.
Ugh, maybe it’s the stress at work or the time change or the weather. I’ve had several posts started and scrapped them because I didn’t feel like they were up to my personal standards. If there’s any place I should feel a muse it’s where I am now, sitting outside under a tree in 66 degree weather on a sunny day. But alas, it evades me once again.
The posts I’ve started but scrapped have had good potential; I just haven’t been able to see them through to the end. I had one on the importance or lack there of, in a successful business; I also had one on what makes a good leader. And then I got frustrated last night and had one going on my Social Media Etiquette pet peeves.
So here’s the Readers Digest version of what I have knocking around in my head.
- Technology is important, but I think you need strong leadership, a passion for something, a set of goals for the business/department, and the ability to laugh at your own stupid mistakes to have a successful business. Just because you have the cream of the crop technology, in my personal opinion, does not mean your business will be successful.
- Social Media Etiquette pet peeves: If you request a connection, tell me who you are and how I know you. Don’t spam me. Spell check, use it. And last but most importantly, Auto DMs are evil, stop it.

I can give you the number to mine, or I can just give you a good whacking stick for when you track yours down.
I know how you feel. Been feeling that way lately myself and have even talked to a few fellow bloggers about it. Maybe it’s just from being at the tail end of a gray winter….the thing I’m learning is that my personal standards are much higher than they should be sometimes. So, don’t be so hard on yourself. All the posts you mention sound interesting and we’d all love to read them.
Oh, and when you find your muse, tell him to send mine home too.
@HR_Minion Yes, I’ll take both please.
@Trish Thanks Trish, it helps to know that I’m not the only one feeling the loss
I’m sure both of our muses…muse’s….muse-i (dude whats plural for muse?) anyway, they’re both off at the spa or on a shopping trip somewhere.
Hey, stop that smack talk on Technology dude or I might have to track down Shauna’s whacking stick. Oh okay I guess good leadership is important. Let me go find an auto DM to send to you on the topic.
