Blog Supply Chain Risk: Writer’s Block

jan-husdalRegular readers of this blog will have noticed a considerable gap in my postings, with several weeks and even more than a month between posts at times. It’s not that I have been too busy with my day job, not really. The only thing I could blame it own, perhaps, is the discovery of so many exciting but only virtually rewarding games on Facebook, but even that is not the full story. What happened is that I simply hit a brick wall, the infamous writer’s block. Considering what I wrote in my post on the supply chain of my blog, it sounds incredible that I should run out of topics to write about, but I did. So what helped me back?

A worthy reference

While perusing my website stats the other day I notices some interesting referrers: the SCRM Knowledge Base maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology had two of my posts listed: SCRM in six steps and one of my SCRM literature reviews. And it didn’t stop there. I even found myself listed as an “external link” on Wikipedia’s article on Supply Chain Risk Management, and I wish I could find out who put me there, but there’s not editor or user mentioned for that particular edit.

A favorite pick

I also found a very honorable mention of a post on disaster management on a site called continuitycompliance.org, stating that

One of our staff’s favorite writers on the subject of Supply Chain is Jan Husdal. And today our staff wishes to focus your attention on a topic raised by Mr. Husdal and dealing with the challenges of disaster supply chain management

Now, isn’t that nice?



I’ll be back

If those two examples not make me want to keep on blogging, I don’t know what will, and that is why you can expect more posts coming soon, and on a regular basis. With a faithful audience like this, blogging is fun…and rewarding. So stay tuned…
