Wife Kills Blogger

How much do interruptions hamper your blogging efforts? Whether it be loud outside noises, your kids or even your pets - getting away from it all to think about and write a blog post can be tough.

For me, the wife is the killer.

It usually starts along the lines of "Can you step away from that PC for just a few hours!" and if that is not successful, regular yelling or attempted conversation from a large distance usually follows. And because I struggle to hear at the best of times, I usually have to leave my desk and find the lovely wife to finish the conversation or risk a verbal dressing down.

Unfortunately I have don't have the budget of a John Chow or Shoemoney so I can't afford to build a sound and bomb proof bunker to do my blogging in. (Oh how nice that would be, especially Shoemoney's custom built PC bunker - sensational) Anyway, I had a cheaper solution in mind.

Go Mobile.

I went out and bought a new notebook. An ACER Aspire 5720G, I thought this would be ideal - I could simply take my blogging to the lounge room, the bath and even the toilet. Yes, believe it - many good posts are made while relaxing in the hot tub. (I won't talk about my posts on the toilet) But anyway, it's a pretty good escape.

My problem now is not putting finger to keyboard, but the interruptions while I think of blog posts are bringing on writers block! Yes the dreaded word, something I have never had before - the painful nagging of the wife is causing me to lose my will to blog. Yes it could be true - wife kills blogger.

A more inspired post soon! (PS - Am working on a new banner for the site and hope to have some more pictures and video up soon.)
