Writing block?

Looking at the posts in the last three years (or so) since I started this, it seems a of a pattern of "diminishing posts" is setting into place as time goes by. Sometimes, weeks, or even a month goes by without single post. And I feel kind of bad.... have I lost that writing edge? Is there a block I need to unclot?

To be honest, sometimes I just feel like there isn't much to write about, and lately I've been too dazed and lethargic to write.

But really, does that matter? Is not quality more important than quantity? I could post ten posts a day, but they could have no content, and could be just ramblings about mundane things that are repetitive and boring. Boring to write about, and boring to read about.

Maybe it comes from this compulsion of mine, whereby if I write, I want to write about something out of the ordinary, write about something that will impress and leave the reader (if there are any) in awe. I feel like when I write I want it to be an art that I am creating and leaving behind.

Or maybe that's going beyond myself.
