How about looking over some of your classic posts from the past (whether personal favorites, fan favorites or just posts that produced great back and forth between your readers) and reposting them.

Between the death of a parent, a truly brutal winter and work being haywire for a few months now, I've been hard-pressed for inspiration with what I do. I know enough that the tide will turn, sooner or later. Sometimes life gets on top of you, and all you can do is cover up and wait for the right time to get into it again.<br /><br />One thing I'd wish you consider doing more of: record-store owner stories/theories/takes on life. Manhattan record-store owner in particular. I don't know if that experience you had seems mundane to you, or you just don't see how interesting the topic but could be ... but that's how many of us know you here. And it would seem to me you'd have some pretty interesting stories to tell, even if they seem routine or mundane to you. Record stores are a dying breed, and all of us have been consumers, but damn few have been on your end, particularly for smaller shops more known for their idiosyncratic customers and strange situations.William Repsherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16690181505790748431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-42320420972555243712014-04-14T12:13:14.009-07:002014-04-14T12:13:14.009-07:00Enjoy the spring.

So take time to get that mojo back and hopefully you'll post what you can when you can.<br /><br />Another idea might be to have folks here submit ideas for future posts - so you'd have a stock to use as needed. It's still best if you moderate them and are the lead commenter, but that could help with the idea factor. And you'd pick the ones that appeal to you of course. <br /><br />Either way, enjoy the downtime and check you soon.A walk in the woodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357001616333664522.post-20701971759773200602014-04-14T09:31:27.967-07:002014-04-14T09:31:27.967-07:00i'll third what wardo said.
